NEW ORLEANS -- Saints center Erik McCoy is expected to have groin surgery this week and will miss time, a source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.

The NFL Network first reported that McCoy, a team captain and 2023 Pro Bowl selection, needs surgery and could be out six to eight weeks.

It is the second significant loss for the Saints' offensive line this season. New Orleans went into the season without All-Pro right tackle Ryan Ramczyk, who was placed on injured reserve before training camp due to significant knee issues.
