RT @RapSheet: #Saints DT Bryan Bresee, one of the linchpins their defense and a rising star, is feared to have suffered Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Bryan Bresee injured his knee during Wednesday's training-camp practice. Further evaluation is underway.

Why it matters: The likely season-long absence would remove a defensive linchpin before the upcoming campaign. New Orleans now faces a major interior-line question as camp opens.

By the numbers: Bresee started all 15 games he played in 2025 and missed the final two weeks with a knee injury. He also tore an ACL in 2021.

What to watch: The Saints await test results and confirmation of the diagnosis.
