Patrick (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.
The 31-year-old was held out of practice all week after initially appearing to sustain a calf injury in the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Panthers. The injury was reclassified as an ankle issue on ensuing injury reports, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. Expect Connor McGovern to serve as New Orleans' top center in Patrick's stead.
