Key Points

New Orleans Saints left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. is out indefinitely with a high ankle sprain and is expected to undergo surgery, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Banks' recovery would require time on injured reserve with a possibility to return late in the season, sources told Rapoport. Banks suffered his injury late in the third quarter of the Saints' 24-17 win against the Baltimore Ravens.

New Orleans Saints left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. is out indefinitely with a high ankle sprain and is expected to undergo surgery, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Banks' recovery would require time on injured reserve with a possibility to return late in the season, sources told Rapoport. Banks suffered his injury late in the third quarter of the Saints' 24-17 win against the Baltimore Ravens. Banks landed awkwardly on his ankle and stayed on the ground after the play, eventually getting into a cart and leaving the field. Asim Richards took over at left tackle for the rest of the game. Banks, 22, was the ninth pick of the 2025 draft and started all 17 games at left tackle for New Orleans last season. Taliese Fuaga, the Saints' 2024 first-round draft pick, started the 2024 season at left tackle before Banks was drafted and switched to right tackle last season.
