New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy is expected to require surgery on his groin that would sideline him for six to eight weeks, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

The injury is not expected to end McCoy's season, per the report.

McCoy, 27, sustained the injury in the first quarter of the Saints' 15-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

He has started all three games this season and all 77 contests in which he has played since being selected by New Orleans in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He made the Pro Bowl for the first time last season.
