Saints coach Dennis Allen alluded to Ramczyk’s knee not responding as they hoped, and it’s unclear when or if it will. The two sides agreed to restructure his contract earlier in March.

Ryan Ramczyk agreed to a reworked contract that guarantees him $6.5 million in 2024.

Ramczyk’s cap number was $27.025M prior to this, but this deal will create cap savings for New Orleans. He previously had no remaining guarantees. The veteran underwent knee surgery in February, but he is expected to be fully healthy for training camp.

Allen added that Ramczyk is expected to be ready for training camp, if not beforehand.

Saints OT Ryan Ramczyk recently underwent offseason knee surgery aimed at cleaning it out and alleviating the issues he battled all season, according to Ian Rapoport.

The procedure was reportedly described as minor. Ramcyk only played in 10 games this past season due to the knee injury. The former First-Team All-Pro tackle should be expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2022 NFL season.

Saints OT Ryan Ramczyk (knee) did not practice with the team on Tuesday ahead of Thursday night's Week 13 game vs the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

After practicing in a limited fashion on Monday, Ramczyk's "did not practice" designation is a rather concerning one to say the least. The former All-Pro tackle was inactive for the Week 12 Thanksgiving night game against Buffalo and fantasy managers who trusted RB Tony Jones Jr. saw the effect that had on the putrid New Orleans rushing attack. Even with positive news relative to the statuses of running backs Mark Ingram II and to some degree Alvin Kamara as they work back from knee injuries, Ramczyk's status will be crucial to keep an eye on with only two days until kickoff.
