ANALYSIS
Peat sustained an ankle injury in the Raiders' Week 9 loss to the Bengals; however, it appears Las Vegas' Week 10 bye was enough time for the veteran offensive lineman to move past the issue.

Oct 15, 2023
Ready to roll Sunday
Peat (groin) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Oct 14, 2023
Considered questionable

ANALYSIS
After consecutive days practicing in full, Peat only logged a limited workload to close out the week. He is coming off a one-game absence due to a concussion and in danger of missing his second straight. If he is unable to go, James Hurst and Max Garcia will be the only depth options at guard for New Orleans.
Oct 8, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Peat (concussion) is inactive Sunday against the Patriots, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat suffered a concussion in Week 4 and still hasn't finished progressing through the league's five steps for clearance to return to play. His next opportunity to suit up will be Week 6 against the Texans.
Oct 1, 2023
Suffers concussion Sunday
Peat has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a concussion, Erin Summers of ESPN reports.

Returns to practice
Peat participated in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday after missing time with a quadriceps injury, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat has been out of action since July 31 when he suffered a quadriceps injury during practice. He started 11 games at left guard last season and should reclaim that role now that he has returned.
Aug 13, 2023
Continues to miss time
Peat (quadriceps) did not practice Sunday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat's injury was not supposed to be serious, but he's been hampered by it since July 31. He'll continue to work to get healthy and should maintain his role as the team's starter at left guard once he is.
Jul 31, 2023
Injury not serious
Peat suffered a strained quad during New Orleans' practice Monday, Nick Underhill of New Orleans.football reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat had to leave the padded practice but is not expected to miss considerable time. The ninth-year veteran and three-time Pro Bowler started all 11 games he played in last season. The left guard is supposed to start at that spot again in 2023.
Jul 31, 2023
Injured during practice
Peat suffered a quadriceps injury during practice Monday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat did have to leave practice early, although the severity of the injury is still not known. The former Pro Bowler is expected to remain the team's starter at left guard, so any extended absence would certainly be a blow to the team's offensive line.
Jun 14, 2023
Back working with starters
Peat (ankle) was spotted working with the starting offensive line at Saints' minicamp Tuesday, Sean Fazende of Fox 8 New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat missed the final two games of the 2022 NFL season with an ankle injury suffered in Week 16, but has since had the offseason to move past the issue. The longtime Saint has started 90 games over the past eight years, so it's no surprise he's working with the team's No. 1 offensive line now that he's healthy. Ahead of this upcoming season, expect the three-time Pro Bowler to be a staple at left guard again for New Orleans.
Jan 6, 2023
Won't play in regular-season finale
Peat (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Peat will miss back-to-back games to end the 2022 season due to an ankle injury he suffered during the Saints' Week 16 win over the Browns. Calvin Throckmorton figures to draw another start at left guard in Peat's absence.
Dec 30, 2022
Won't face Eagles
Peat (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Dec 24, 2022
Questionable to return
Peat is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Browns due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Peat was questionable prior to the game due to a triceps issue, but has now picked up an ankle injury. Calvin Throckmorton will presumably fill in for him at guard should he ultimately be unable to return.
Dec 24, 2022
Cleared Saturday
Peat (triceps) is good to go for Saturday's game in Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Peat's availability means he should play his usual role at left guard assuming he does not suffer any setbacks. Should that end up happening, Calvin Throckmorton would presumably be the next man up.
Nov 27, 2022
Active Week 12
Peat (triceps) has been ruled active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Peat was a limited participant in practice throughout the week with a triceps injury. Nevertheless, the left guard sill is set to play alongside rookie left tackle Trevor Penning, who will be available for his season debut Week 12.
Nov 20, 2022
Ready to go Sunday
Peat (triceps) is active Sunday against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Peat was able to log a limited practice Friday after logging DNP's earlier in the week and missing Week 10's loss to the Steelers. The return of the Saints' starting left guard is certainly good news for New Orleans.
Nov 18, 2022
Questionable for Week 11
Peat (triceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The starting left guard was ruled out for New Orleans' Week 10 loss to Pittsburgh with a triceps injury, and he logged back-to-back DNPs before participating in limited fashion during practice Friday. With starting left tackle James Hurst (concussion) already ruled out, Peat's availability would be a big boost for the Saints' depleted offensive line.
Nov 11, 2022
Sidelined again Week 10
Peat (triceps) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat returned Week 8 after suffering a pectoral injury during New Olreans' Week 6 loss to Cincinnati. The 29-year-old then popped up with a triceps injury Wednesday and was held out of each practice ahead of Sunday's contest, leaving the Saints' interior offensive line extremely short-handed with center Eric McCoy (calf) also ruled out against the Steelers. Peat's next opportunity to play will come against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 20.
Oct 30, 2022
Playing in Week 8
Peat (pectoral) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, per the team's official site.
ANALYSIS

Oct 19, 2022
Won't play Thursday
Peat (pectoral) will be inactive Thursday against the Cardinals, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat suffered a pectoral strain in the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Bengals and has not healed enough to suit up for the contest. In his absence, Calvin Throckmorton (hip) or Landon Young could step into his starting left-guard role.
Oct 19, 2022
Week-to-week with pec strain
Peat suffered a pectoral strain in the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Bengals and is considered week-to-week moving forward, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The offensive lineman will miss Thursday's contest against the Cardinals while he nurses the injury and will now set his sights on returning in Week 9 versus the Raiders after New Orleans' bye week. In his absence, Calvin Throckmorton (hip) or Landon Young could step into a starting role.
Oct 9, 2022
Active against Seattle
Peat (concussion) is active for Sunday's matchup against Seattle.
ANALYSIS

Oct 6, 2022
Back in full Thursday
Peat (concussion) practiced in full Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat suffered a concussion against the Panthers in Week 3, and he was ultimately ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Vikings as a result. The 316-pounder has yet to clear concussion protocols, but his ability to practice in full Thursday suggests he's not far away.
Sep 30, 2022
Unavailable for Week 4
Peat (concussion) has been ruled out for the Saints' Week 4 matchup with the Vikings, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After suffering a concussion in Week 3 against the Panthers, Peat was unable to make enough progress at practice this week to be ready to go for Sunday's contest in London. Calvin Throckmorton will likely step into a starting role this weekend.
Sep 25, 2022
Won't return Sunday
Peat (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat suffered an apparent concussion during Sunday's contest against Carolina, and he isn't expected to return. Calvin Throckmorton should play an expanded role for the team's offensive line while the 316-pounder remains sidelined.
Feb 27, 2022
Re-works deal
The Saints have restructured Peat's contract, John Sigler of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, restructuring the 2015 first-rounder's deal will free up about $7.8 million against the Saints' 2022 salary cap. A pectoral injury landed Peat on injured reserve last October, but the 28-year-old -- who is signed through 2024 -- will presumably approach training camp healthy and in the process is poised to reclaim his starting left guard slot on the New Orleans offensive line.
Oct 30, 2021
Placed on IR
Peat (pectoral) has been put on injured reserve, Field Yates of ESPN reports
ANALYSIS
This was expected as it is still feared but not confirmed that the injury will end Peat's season. Calvin Throckmorton should replace him at left guard for the foreseeable future.
Oct 26, 2021
Season-ending injury feared
The Saints fear that Peat has suffered a torn pec, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat was forced out of Monday's contest against Seattle due to a pectoral injury, and the initial diagnosis reportedly points toward a season-ending tear. Now, the team is awaiting results from an MRI to confirm the severity of Peat's injury. If the standout guard is indeed sent to the sideline for a significant amount of time, Calvin Throckmorton will stand to slot into the starting lineup as his replacement.
Oct 25, 2021
Exits with injury
Peat suffered a shoulder injury during Monday's game against the Seahawks, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat exited the contest in the first half and was unable to return. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time. Calvin Throckmorton stepped in at left guard as Peat's replacement in Monday's victory over Seattle.
Dec 31, 2020
Shakes off injury
Peat (ankle) practiced without limitations Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After missing last week's game against the Vikings, Peat is on track to return for the season finale against the Panthers. The sixth-year pro will slot in as the starting left guard.
Dec 25, 2020
Inactive against Vikings
Peat (ankle) is inactive for Friday's game against the Vikings, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear if Peat is dealing with an injury to the same leg in which he suffered a high-ankle sprain in September. Regardless, James Hurst is a candidate to step into the starting lineup in Peat's absence.
Dec 5, 2020
Gets green light
Peat (concussion) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Peat suffered a concussion when the Saints' played Atlanta two weeks ago and subsequently missed last week's victory over the Broncos. However, he was a full participant at practice this week and should take on his usual role at left guard assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Nov 22, 2020
Out with concussion
Peat (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The two-time Pro Bowler was able to log his ninth start of the season Sunday, but he was forced to exit in the first half. With Derrick Kelly (coach's decision) inactive for Week 11, Nick Easton will likely slide over to field snaps at left guard for the remainder of the contest.

ANALYSIS

Sep 28, 2020
Sustains high-ankle sprain
Peat suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 37-30 loss to the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat is expected to miss time as a result, and he could be placed on injured reserve, which would only require him to miss two games since the Saints have a Week 6 bye. Derrick Kelly is next up to start at left guard if Peat indeed sits out.
Sep 27, 2020
Ruled out with ankle injury
Peat (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Packers, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Sean Payton should have an update on the starting guard's status after the game, but Peat's done for the night. Given the nature of Peat's injury, he could be looking at a multi-week absence, though his status beyond Sunday is uncertain at this point.
Sep 27, 2020
Carted off after being rolled up on
Peat (leg) was carted off for X-rays late in the first half of Sunday's game against the Packers, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Advocate reports.
ANALYSIS
Nick Easton takes over for Peat, who had his leg rolled up on by running back Alvin Kamara while blocking upfield. Peat's return should be considered questionable at this time.
Sep 1, 2020
Returns to practice
Peat returned to practice Monday, John Sigler of Saints Wire reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat's thumb injury kept him sidelined for just two weeks before the Pro Bowl guard was back at practice. After signing a lucrative extension in the offseason, he's expected to anchor one of the strongest offensive lines in the league. Health will obviously be a concern for Peat, as he's missed nine total games over the last two seasons.
Aug 18, 2020
Suffers broken thumb
Peat suffered a broken thumb during Tuesday's practice but hasn't been ruled out for Week 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The two-time Pro Bowler, who signed a five-year, $57.5 million contract back in March to remain with the Saints, appears to have a fair shot at suiting up for the season-opener against Tampa Bay on Sept. 13 as long as he can avoid surgery. Per Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, Peat could manage to resume practicing in as little as two weeks.
Mar 20, 2020
Inks five-year deal with Saints
Peat agreed to terms Friday on a five-year contract with the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Peat now returns to New Orleans, where he was selected in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft, on a five-year deal. He stands to shore up the team's starting left guard position for the foreseeable future, while also boasting the versatility to serve as a swing tackle in emergency situations.
Dec 28, 2019
Cleared to play
Peat (forearm) is absent from the Saints' final injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Panthers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat broke his forearm on Nov. 11 and was subsequently given a six-week timetable to return. Thus, his expected return Sunday is right on track and should give him an opportunity to shake off some rust before the playoffs commence.
Dec 22, 2019
Won't return Week 16
Peat (forearm) is inactive Sunday against the TItans, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat's absence will extend to six games, and with fellow starter Larry Warford (knee) out as well, the New Orleans offensive line will be operating well below full strength. Peat did log limited practice sessions each day this week, so a return for Week 17 or the playoffs seems plausible, if not likely.
Dec 20, 2019
Receives questionable tag
Peat (forearm) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat put in limited practices all week as he attempts to beat his original six-week timeline. If he's able to suit up, Patrick Omameh would likely head back to the bench.
Nov 13, 2019
Facing six-week absence
Peat broke his forearm in Sunday's loss to the Falcons and is expected to be out six weeks following surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
If the proposed timeline holds true, Peat could return to the Saints' lineup for the final week of the regular season. While he recovers, expect Patrick Omameh to fill in at left guard.
Nov 10, 2019
Suffers arm injury
Peat was forced out of Sunday's game against the Falcons with an arm injury, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Sep 19, 2019
Limited Wednesday
Peat (ankle) was limited Wednesday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peat exited Sunday's game against the Saints with an ankle injury and remained limited in Wednesday's practice. He should be considered questionable for the Saints' Week 3 matchup with the Seahawks. If he's unable to go, either Will Clapp or Patrick Omameh will take his place on the offensive line.
Sep 15, 2019
Heads to locker room
Peat (undisclosed) left Sunday's game versus the Rams, Luke Johnson of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The nature of Peat's injury isn't clear, and Will Clapp will fill in at left guard for the time being.
