A rough situation just got more difficult. The New Orleans Saints announced that guard Nick Easton will not return to Monday night’s game with the Los Angeles Chargers after suffering a concussion in the first quarter. The report from the team came moments after the Chargers took a 20-3 lead midway through the second quarter.
Easton had started the game at right guard with Andrus Peat back at left guard, which was how they opened the season back in Week 1. That put rookie first round pick Cesar Ruiz on the bench, but he filled in for Easton after he stepped out.
