Jeremiah Wright left practice with a shoulder injury on August 5, creating concerns for the New Orleans Saints' offensive line depth. As a fourth-round draft pick from Auburn, Wright was expected to play a significant role this season. His injury is particularly worrisome given the existing uncertainties around starting right guard Cesar Ruiz, who has dealt with inconsistency and injuries.
