The last we heard from the Saints, they were hoping center Max Unger might be back in August after he needed foot surgery in May.
He’s not quite that optimistic, but he’s hopeful he’ll be ready for the regular season.
“The timeline obviously is tough, and we would’ve liked to have done it earlier but really had no idea,” Unger said, via Josh Katzenstein of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “And so it’s frustrating not being able to do training camp and the offseason program, but getting it fixed and having a good shot to be back for Week 1 is encouraging.”
Unger was hoping rest and rehab would be sufficient to overcome the Lisfranc injury he suffered in Week 13 last season. He missed one game but played out the rest of the season. But when the pain persisted, an MRI showed he’d need the surgery, putting his availability in doubt.
Saints coach Sean Payton was hoping he might be ready for the third preseason game, but Unger wasn’t ready to go that far.
He’s still in a walking boot, and said he didn’t know when he’d be able to run.

Still preparing for him to be severely limited all year. There just isn't way he's going to be close to comfortable with that injury , his size, and the nature of his position.

Let him take all the time he needs.

And what shitty doctor didn't take the MRI right away?
I imagine the conversation went something like this.
You say you make millions of dollars a year working on your feet and you have to start work in August? Let's not spend $500 on an MRI let's just rest and see what happens.

We should be able to get by with Kelemete, Jack Allen, Cameron Tom, & Josh LeRibeus. Hopefully it doesn't come to that though.
