Won't play vs. Tennessee Ruiz (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ruiz will end up missing a second straight game due to an ankle injury, so William Sherman will likely start at right guard against Tennessee. With the Saints eliminated from playoff contention, Ruiz's last opportunity to suit up this season is Week 18 against the Falcons.

Considered unavailable Thursday Ruiz (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

Impact Ruiz was once again considered unavailable as the Saints did not practice for the second straight day. The offensive lineman appears to be trending towards missing a second straight game, and if that's the case, William Sherman will likely draw another start at right guard versus Tennessee on Sunday.

Logs DNP on Wednesday Ruiz (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ruiz was unable to play against the Jets in Week 16 due to an ankle injury. He'll have two more chances to practice and give himself an opportunity to play against the Titans on Sunday. William Sherman started at right guard in Week 16 and would likely reprise that role if Ruiz is not cleared to play Week 17.

No practice Wednesday Ruiz (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Ruiz suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Panthers and the issue is continuing to plague him. His status for a Week 16 matchup against the Jets looks to be in doubt, though he'll still have two days to increase his practice reps.
