Overview
- Jordan suffered a hamstring injury during a Thursday practice and has not practiced since Aug. 6, causing him to miss multiple training-camp sessions.
- Coach Kellen Moore warned the injury could 'possibly get into the season' and said staff will collect more information before setting a return timetable.
- The 37-year-old signed a one-year deal to play what he called his final season and led the team with 10.5 sacks in 2025.
- New Orleans plans to increase snaps for edge players Chase Young, Carl Granderson, Anfernee Jennings, Tyree Wilson and Fadil Diggs as they cover Jordan’s absence.
- Other defensive-line issues, including Davon Godchaux’s rolled ankle and Bryan Bresee’s torn ACL, have reduced depth and could force lineup changes or outside additions before the Sept. 13 opener.
