Saints DE Cameron Jordan Could Miss Start Of Season With Hamstring Injury

Per ESPN’s Katherine Terrell, Saints HC Kellen Moore said DE Cameron Jordan could possibly miss the start of the season with a hamstring injury.

Moore said “he’s going to miss a little bit of time,” and they will continue to reevaluate every few days. 

“It could possibly get into the season, but you never know,” Moore said. “[You need] to have some patience with it, let it take its course and we’ll collect more information as we go.”

According to Moore, the injury occured in Thursday’s practice, leading to three-straight missed practices for the veteran.

Jordan, 37, is a former first-round pick of the Saints back in 2011 out of Cal. He was entering the fifth year of a six-year, $61.969 million contract that includes $33.469 million guaranteed that he signed back in 2015 when he agreed to a three-year extension with the Saints worth $52.5 million in 2019. 

New Orleans gave Jordan a two-year, $27.9 million contract extension through 2025 before the 2024 season. He then signed a one-year, $7.5 million contract for 2026.

In 2025, Jordan appeared in all 17 games for the Saints and recorded 47 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one recovery and two pass defenses.
