Cameron Jordan misses the season opener against hamstring injury

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan will be sidelined for the team’s September 13 season opener due to a hamstring injury sustained during training camp. Coach Kellen Moore confirmed the absence on September 9, noting that while the veteran is progressing in his recovery, he will not participate in the first game of the season. Jordan has played in 243 regular season games and 11 playoff games throughout his 15-year career, missing only two previous contests. The team opted against placing him on injured reserve, leaving open the possibility of a return for subsequent weeks. In his absence, the Saints will rely on Anfernee Jennings and Tyree Wilson to provide depth alongside Chase Young and Carl Granderson.
