It is no secret that the New Orleans Saints suffered a tough loss to the Houston Texans in Week 6. The game wasn't the only big loss that New Orleans suffered, though. 

Star offensive tackle Ryan Ramcyzk suffered a concussion, and fellow OT James Hurst sustained a foot injury.

A unit that has seen struggles this year takes multiple tough hits in a loss. Their timetables for return are unknown at this point. 

When both were out of the game against Houston, Cesar Ruiz was at RT, and while Trevor Penning was at LT. Penning's inconsistency returned once he replaced Hurst. 

For New Orleans, they have to hope that the injuries are not long-term for Hurst and Ramcyzk. They don't have the depth to suffice a long absence from either of them - let alone both.
