NEW ORLEANS -- Saints starting center Erik McCoy will miss time with a biceps injury, according to coach Kellen Moore.

"We anticipate Erik being out for a little bit, and we'll just manage that on a week-to-week basis," Moore said Monday, before adding that it was "not a long-term thing."

Moore said he didn't think McCoy needed surgery and anticipates that he will return to play this season.

McCoy was injured toward the end of the Saints' 23-22 overtime win against the visiting Cleveland Browns. He remained on the sideline for the end of the fourth quarter and overtime.

McCoy played in only 14 games in the 2024 and 2025 seasons due to injury, including a biceps injury last season that caused him to miss the final 10 games.

Moore said he did not know yet if McCoy's current injury was related to last season's injury.
