The New Orleans Saints offensive line has taken a significant hit.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports centre Erik McCoy requires groin surgery and will miss six to eight weeks.
#Saints Pro Bowl C Erik McCoy’s groin injury is expected to require surgery that would sideline him about 6-8 weeks, sources say. A significant blow to Klint Kubiak’s offense, though it’s at least not a season-ending situation. pic.twitter.com/9bGyBxti8j

McCoy, 27, incurred the injury during the team's 15-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday.
A native of Lufkin, TX, McCoy was the 48th overall selection of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M.
A Pro Bowler last season, McCoy has appeared in 77 games over his six-year career.
The Saints (2-1) return to action on Sunday with a visit to the Atlanta Falcons (1-2).
