Saints left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. will require surgery for a high ankle sprain suffered during Sunday's victory over the Ravens, coach Kellen Moore said Monday. Banks is out indefinitely, per ESPN.
Initial word on Monday morning suggested Banks had suffered a high ankle sprain, but an afternoon update revealed the injury's severity requires surgical repair. Yahoo Sports reported the Saints expect Banks to miss at least 10 weeks. Per NFL Trade Rumors, Ian Rapoport indicated the door remains open for Banks to return later in the season if recovery progresses well, though this will not be a short-term absence.
