Saints' Strief will not return vs. Vikings with left leg injury

New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Zach Strief left Monday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with a left leg injury and will not return.

Strief crumpled to the ground in the first half and left the game with the team's medical staff.

The Saints originally deemed the veteran tackle questionable to return.

Strief has been a hallmark of consistency for the Saints who are already without starting left tackle Terron Armstead. Any further time missed would be a crushing development for the team's offense.
