A scare in the Saints’ camp
Cameron Jordan picked a poor moment to pull up. New Orleans head coach Kellen Moore confirmed Tuesday that the veteran defensive end will “miss a little bit of time” with a hamstring problem he picked up last week.
Jordan turned 37 last month and signed a one-year deal in June to play a 16th and, in his own words, final season in New Orleans. A hamstring is rarely serious on its own. It can also be stubborn, and Moore made no promises about a return date.

No rush, no guarantees
“We’ll see,” Moore said, per NOLA.com. “It could possibly get into the season, but you never know. So these things, you’ve just got to have some patience with it, let it take its course and we’ll collect more and more information as we go.”
The regular season opens Sept. 13 at Detroit, which hands the Saints a month to bring their franchise cornerstone back on his own timeline rather than force him onto the field.
A career built on availability
Missing games is not something Jordan does. Since New Orleans drafted him in the first round in 2011, he has sat out only two, one through injury and one during the COVID protocols. He piled up 10.5 sacks last year and now ranks 17th on the NFL’s all-time list with 132, having passed every pass rusher in franchise history to become the Saints’ career sack leader in 2025. Eight Pro Bowl nods fill in the rest of the ledger.
