If that is done before the final roster reduction, it means a player is out for the whole campaign.
This could spell an end to Ramczyk’s career, which has all been with the Saints since he joined in 2017.
Ramczyk has earned $62 million in his NFL career.
The Saints restructured his contract in May, freeing up cap space for this season.
The 30-year-old is guaranteed $6.5 million this season, lowering his cap hit from $27 million to $12.29 million for 2024.
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said at the NFL’s annual league meeting in March that Ramczyk’s knee was not recovering as quickly as hoped after an offseason procedure.
“He just isn’t quite where I was probably hoping he’d be, and really quite frankly, where he was hoping he’d be,” Allen said.
“We’ll see how it goes over the next three, four, five, six months, whatever that is, before we get to the beginning of the season.”
Sadly, the player didn’t recover enough for it to be feasible for him to play in the upcoming NFL season.
The news was reported on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.
“Clarity on #Saints OT Ryan Ramczyk, via the NFL rules: He is now out for the season, officially, after being placed on reserve/PUP today,” Rapoport posted.
“Why? A vested veteran placed on Reserve/PUP prior to the final roster reduction is out for the season.
“Players placed on Reserve/PUP at the final roster reduction will miss at least 4 games.”
Ramczyk is a terrific talent when clear of injury, as he showed when earning All-Pro honors from 2018-2020.
NFL important dates
August 1 – Hall of Fame Game – Houston Texans vs Chicago Bears
August 8 – Pre-season begins
August 27 – Deadline for 53-man rosters
September 1 – Final day of pre-season
September 5 – Season opener – Baltimore Ravens vs Kansas City Chiefs
November 5 – Trade deadline
January 5 – Week 18 of regular-season
January 11 – Playoffs begin
February 9 – Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Louisiana
But injuries have sadly plagued him over recent years.
Ramczyk has had just 38 starts in the last three seasons.
The Saints finished with a 9–8 record in the 2023 NFL season, for second place in the NFC South.
That wasn’t good enough to make the playoffs, and fans will undoubtedly be hoping for an improvement in the 2024 campaign.
They kick off their season against the Carolina Panthers at home on September 8th.
There will then be further September games for the Saints against the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons.
