Saints' Cameron Jordan: Healthy after ankle surgery
Rotowire
Jordan (ankle) participated in Thursday's training camp session without any apparent limitations, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Jordan said that after injuring his ankle versus the Falcons in Week 13 last season he didn't feel himself, despite the fact that he didn't miss any time. Now fully healthy, the 35-year-old looks set to reprise a starting role up front for New Orleans, though considering Jordan's age and the addition of 2020 No. 2 overall draft pick Chase Young, the team could opt to approach the defensive end position as more of a rotation.

Saints' Cameron Jordan: Recovering from ankle surgery
Rotowire
Jordan is recovering from offseason surgery undergone to address an ankle injury that hampered him during the 2023 campaign, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports.
Jordan suffered the ankle injury in mid-November, and while he didn't subsequently miss any games, his defensive snap share did notably diminish down the stretch. The 13-year veteran has missed only two regular-season games in his NFL career, so recovering from an ankle procedure doesn't add any true concerns about his durability. Jordan has stated that he desires to suit up for the 2024 season, and with better injury luck, he could be set for a bounceback after finishing out 2023 with just two sacks across 17 games.

Saints' Cameron Jordan: On track to play Sunday
Rotowire
Jordan (orbital), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in San Francisco, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jordan was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday after he was sidelined for last week's win over the Rams due to a fractured orbital. Though the veteran defensive end's inability to upgrade to full practice activity resulted in him carrying a designation into the weekend, he looks like he made enough progress for the Saints to feel comfortable bringing him back in the lineup. Jordan's availability will be confirmed when the Saints release their inactive list 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Saints' Cameron Jordan: Questionable for Week 12
Rotowire
Jordan (orbital) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Jordan missed the first game of his career Week 11 after popping up with a fractured orbital bone in practice last week. However, the 33-year-old logged three straight limited practices Week 12 , indicating that he could be on track to suit back up against San Francisco on Sunday. Jordan recorded 42 tackles and 5.5 sacks over the first five weeks of the season, and his potential return could be particularly significant with fellow starting defensive end Marcus Davenport (calf) also considered questionable to play Sunday.

Saints' Cameron Jordan: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Jordan (orbital) is inactive Sunday against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
Jordan is dealing with an orbital fracture, which will force the 12-year pro to miss the first game of his career due to an injury. The seven-time Pro Bowler's absence will certainly be a blow to the Saints' defense, and factoring in the absence of Marcus Davenport (calf), the Saints will be down both of their starting defensive ends. In their absence, Tanoh Kpassagnon and Carl Granderson will likely draw starts, while Payton Turner and Jabari Zuniga could see increased opportunities.

Jordan will miss the first game of his 12-year career due to injury Sunday, sitting out after he suffered an eye injury at some point this month.

Saints' Cameron Jordan: DNP again Thursday
Rotowire
Jordan (eye) did not participate in the Saints' practice Thursday, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Jordan was a non-participant for the second straight practice to open Week 11 prep, though it's unclear when or how this injury first arose. The seven-time Pro Bowler has been a stalwart on New Orleans' defense for nearly his entire career, so his potential absence would be a big blow heading into Sunday's game against the run-heavy Ravens. Jordan will have one more practice to improve his status before Friday's final injury report, otherwise Tanoh Kpassagnon and Carl Granderson could be in line for bigger roles with fellow starting defensive end Marcus Davenport (calf) is also dealing with an injury.

Saints' Cameron Jordan: Recovering from core muscle surgery
Rotowire
Jordan underwent core muscle surgery Feb. 4 but is expected to be fully healthy for training camp, Michael Silver of NFL.com reports.

Jordan finished last season with 53 tackles (37 solo), 15.5 sacks and one fumble recovery, and he's set to begin his 10th season with the Saints in 2020.
