Coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that Jordan (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Lions, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. The update doesn't come as a huge surprise, as it was anticipated Jordan could miss part of the regular season due to the hamstring injury he sustained during a practice back in early August. In his stead, 2025 third-rounder Vernon Broughton could get a start on the defensive line in Week 1.

Jordan (hamstring) could potentially be sidelined into the regular season, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Head coach Kellen Moore indicated Tuesday that Jordan could miss the start of the regular season with a hamstring injury he suffered at practice last Thursday, but at the very least he's expected to miss a chunk of training camp. Entering his 16th season in the league, the 37-year-old was still slated to start as a defensive end for New Orleans after totaling 47 tackles, including 10.5 sacks, last season. With Jordan's injury, the already depleted Saints defensive front will see more snaps from second-year defensive end Vernon Broughton while he recovers.

Jordan (hamstring) did not participate in Sunday's practice, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Jordan suffered a hamstring issue during Thursday's session, and the extent of the issue is still being evaluated. The 37-year-old veteran defensive end will likely have extra precautions in place for the injury. If Jordan misses a prolonged period of time, Michael Heldman and Vernon Broughton could see additional first-team snaps and preseason reps.

The Saints are set to re-sign Jordan to a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Jordan has spent his entire career in New Orleans, the team that selected him in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He rebounded impressively across 17 regular-season games in 2025, totaling 10.5 sacks. The soon-to-be 37-year-old will reportedly re-up with the Saints on a deal that includes significant incentives.

Jordan finished the 2025 campaign with 47 tackles (32 solo), including 10.5 sacks, and two passes defended across 17 games. Jordan brought down Kirk Cousins in Week 18 to reach double-digit sacks for the first time since 2021. This was a massive jump from his previous two seasons, when he accumulated 6.0 sacks across 34 regular-season games. The 15-year veteran has now logged 10 or more sacks seven times in his career. Jordan played on a one-year, $6.05 million deal this season, and it's unclear if he'll re-sign with New Orleans, join a new team, or even retire this offseason.
