Overview
- Jordan has not practiced since Aug. 6 and by Tuesday, Aug. 11 he had missed his third straight training-camp practice because of a hamstring injury.
- Head coach Kellen Moore said the team will track the injury daily and warned it “could possibly get into the season,” creating credible risk to Jordan’s Sept. 13 opener.
- Jordan is a long-tenured, mostly durable veteran who has missed only one career game previously, which increases the significance of this absence for the Saints.
- The missed camp time removes a key pass-rush starter and veteran leader from practices, forcing New Orleans to adjust reps for younger defensive linemen and evaluate depth.
- The team has given no return timetable; medical updates and practice progress will determine whether Jordan is ready for the Sept. 13 game against the Detroit Lions.
