New Orleans Saints starting right tackle Charles Brown is on crutches following the Saints 38-17 win over the Oakland Raiders Sunday.

Early reports from Brown himself indicate that his knee injury is most likely a sprained MCL, according to Larry Holder.

Brown left the game before half time and was replaced by undrafted rookie Bryce Harris.

This isn't good news for Drew Brees and the Saints, who lack depth at the tackle position.
