Saints DE Cam Jordan sidelined for weeks with hamstring problem

New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore confirmed that defensive end Cam Jordan suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him unavailable for an extended period, possibly through the season-opening contest in Detroit. The exact classification of the hamstring strain has not been released, though Jordan’s recent social-media one outlet suggests it may not be serious. The Saints’ defensive front has already been hit hard during training camp, with rookie Bryan Bresee ruled out for the year after tearing his ACL, veteran John Ridgeway coping with a back injury, and Davon Godchaux nursing an ankle issue.

These setbacks have strained the unit as the regular season looms in under five weeks. The coaching staff will need to rely on backups and adjust the depth chart to compensate for the missing players. The situation underscores the broader injury challenges the team faces heading into the campaign.
