Speedy Ron

Saints RT Jon Stinchcomb is believed to be undergoing sports hernia surgery Friday after getting injured in the offseason program.
We often hear highly optimistic return timetables for sports hernias (this one says "3 to 4 weeks"), but the lingering effects of such an injury can ruin seasons. The Saints, though, have plenty of depth at tackle to withstand Stinchcomb's absence. Zach Strief will likely step in with the first team.
