Cameron Jordan's status for Week 1 uncertain after hamstring injury

Summary

Cameron Jordan, defensive end for the New Orleans Saints, may not be ready for the season opener against the Detroit Lions on September 13. Jordan has missed three consecutive days of training camp due to a hamstring injury sustained on August 6. Coach Kellen Moore indicated the team will evaluate his condition daily, as there is potential for the injury to affect Jordan's availability into the regular season. Historically, Jordan has a strong track record of durability, having missed just one game previously due to injury. His motivation to return quickly also ties to contract incentives linked to his sack totals.
