The brief

The New Orleans Saints may start the regular season without defensive end Cam Jordan. Jordan is recovering from a hamstring injury. The Saints' offensive line depth has also been impacted by a significant injury to key backup Dillon Radunz, who has suffered a torn ACL and will miss the entire 2026 season. The Saints head coach Kellen Moore provided an update on Jordan’s injury after Tuesday’s practice, but the extent of Jordan’s absence remains uncertain.

The Saints are grappling with the potential loss of Jordan, a crucial player for their defensive line. Jordan's injury adds to the team's challenges, as they now must navigate the season without Radunz, who was expected to provide valuable support on the offensive line. The team's depth will be tested early in the season. The Saints' defensive strategy may need to adapt.

Jordan's status for the start of the season is unclear, and his absence could force the team to rely more heavily on other players. The team's ability to manage these injuries will be crucial as they prepare for the upcoming season.
