Saints stud Linebacker Junior Galette suffered a pectoral injury and is currently evaluating his options on whether to undergo surgery, according to Fox Sports.
It’s unclear how Galette, who was absent from the team’s optional OTA workout on Thursday, suffered the injury and whether there’s a legitimate chance he could play through it. Players who undergo surgery for pectoral injuries are usually sidelined for an average of five to six months.
Galette’s agent, Alvin Keels, did not respond to an inquiry about the extent of his client’s injury and whether he will seek another opinion.
Galette signed a four-year, $41.5 million contract extension before last season and has 22 sacks over the past two years.
