New Orleans Saints starting left defensive end Charles Grant has had surgery to repair a torn triceps injury and has been placed on injured reserve, the Saints announced Tuesday.

It appears the injury occurred in the second quarter of Sunday’s 23-10 season-finale loss to the Carolina Panthers.

Grant suffered a similar injury last season that caused him to miss the last eight games of the season.

Grant had 44 tackles and 5 1/2 sacks this season. He was the team’s first-round draft pick in 2002 and has started 106 games with the Saints.
