Why it matters: New Orleans must replace a starting interior defender before its first preseason game. The season-long absence creates an immediate test of the Saints' defensive-line depth.

By the numbers: Bresee started all 15 games he played in 2025, recording 37 tackles and 2.5 sacks.

What to watch: The Saints' preseason depth chart will show how they plan to redistribute interior snaps.
