Saints' Bryan Bresee: Placed on injured reserve
The Saints placed Bresee (knee) on injured reserve Friday.
Bresee tore his ACL in an early training-camp practice and will undergo surgery in the coming weeks. He'll turn his attention toward rehab and recovery and aim to be fully healthy for the 2027 season, which will be his last under his rookie contract with the Saints. John Ridgeway figures to start opposite Cameron Jordan at defensive end in Bresee's absence.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Set for season-ending ACL surgery
Saints head coach Kellen Moore said Sunday that Bresee will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
It's a brutal blow for Bresee, who has played in 46 of 48 possible regular-season games since being selected by the Saints in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. An ACL repair procedure typically carries a nine-month recovery timeline, so Bresee should be available for the 2027 season, which is the final year of his rookie contract. John Ridgeway figures to step into a starting role at defensive end opposite veteran Cameron Jordan, while Michael Heldman, Vernon Broughton and Tyree Wilson compete for rotational snaps.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Possibly done for season
Bresee (knee) is feared to have suffered a torn ACL during Wednesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The defensive lineman is undergoing extensive testing to confirm, but his ACL is likely torn, and he is likely done for the season. If the worst is true, John Ridgeway and Vernon Broughton (hip) will need to step up and prove they can produce for the Saints' defensive front.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Contract option picked up
The Saints have picked up Bresee's fifth-year contract option, Matthew Paras of The Times-Picayune reports.
As a result of the move, Bresee, who was the Saints' 2023 first-round pick, will be under contract with the team for the 2027 season under a deal estimated to be "north of $13 million," per Paras. The 24-year-old logged 37 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 15 regular-season games in 2025 while seeing action on a career-high 69 percent of New Orleans' defensive snaps. Considering that he recorded 7.5 sacks in 2024, Bresee -- who is presumably past the knee issue he dealt with late last season -- is a bounce-back candidate this year in his starting role along the Saints' defensive line.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Out for Week 18
Bresee (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Bresee hasn't returned to practice since sustaining a knee injury in the Week 16 win over the Jets, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined Sunday. The third-year pro from Clemson had a relatively underwhelming 2025 campaign, recording 37 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, three passes defensed and one forced fumble over 15 appearances. Expect Jonathan Bullard and John Ridgeway to have expanded roles on New Orleans' defensive line while Bresee and Nathan Shepherd (ankle) are sidelined in Week 18.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Remains out of practice
Bresee (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
Bresee didn't practice at all last week and sat out Sunday's win over Tennessee. With a DNP to begin Week 18 prep, his potential to return to action for New Orleans' season finale this coming Sunday in Atlanta is shaky, at best. Should Bresee need to sit out again, Jonathan Bullard and Nathan Shepherd (ankle) would be candidates for more defensive snaps.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Won't play against Tennessee
Coach Kellen Moore said Monday that Bresee (knee) will not play in Sunday's game against the Titans, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Bresee was injured in Sunday's win over the Jets, and Moore said they'll reevaluate Bresee next week to see if he'll be able to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Falcons. Bresee has started all 15 games this season, recording a career-high 37 tackles (15 solo), including 2.5 sacks, three pass breakups and one forced fumble on 69 percent of the defensive snaps.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Won't return Sunday
Bresee (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Bresee will not return to Sunday's game due to a knee injury, so Jonathan Bullard and Nathan Shepherd should see more snaps at defensive end the rest of the way. Bresee is in jeopardy of missing the Saints' Week 17 road tilt against the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 28.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Leaves game with knee injury
Bresee (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Bresee went to the locker room in the second half to have his knee evaluated by medical staff. Nathan Shepherd and Jonathan Bullard should see more snaps at defense end for as long as Bresee is out of the game.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Good to go against Carolina
Bresee (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
A back injury limited Bresee's practice participation Thursday and Friday, but the third-year pro has been cleared to play Week 10 after going through pregame warmups. The 2023 first-rounder has accumulated 21 tackles (seven solo), including 1.5 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through nine regular-season games.
