Saints' Khalen Saunders: Decent in injury-shortened year
In 13 games in 2024, Saunders recorded 43 tackles (18 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and three pass breakups including an interception.
Saunders was easily on track to play more defensive snaps in 2024 than in his first season in New Orleans in 2023, but he was forced to miss four games due to injury. Both of his main competitors for playing time, Bryan Bresee and Nathan Shepherd, are good bets to return to the Saints in 2025 along with Saunders, so a similar role could be in store for him next year.

Saints' Khalen Saunders: Won't play Sunday
Saunders (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Saunders missing Sunday's contest comes as no surprise, as the 28-year-old defensive tackle missed the Saints' entire week of practice due to a calf injury sustained at the end of August. Expect Khristian Boyd and Bryan Bresee (illness) to see more snaps with New Orleans' first-team defense while Saunders remains sidelined.
