Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan could potentially miss the start of the season with a hamstring injury, according to

What happened: Kellen Moore said the injury will cost Jordan time during the preseason. Jordan re-signed for one final season on June 16.

Why it matters: Jordan led New Orleans with 10.5 sacks in 2025. His possible absence would leave the Saints without their top returning pass rusher to open the 2026 schedule.

By the numbers: Jordan's 132 career sacks rank second among active NFL players.

What to watch: Jordan's participation when regular-season practices begin will clarify his Week 1 availability.
