New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan may miss the Week 1 opener against the Detroit Lions on September 13. Coach Kellen Moore confirmed Jordan has not practiced since August 6 due to a hamstring injury, marking his third consecutive day out. Moore indicated that Jordan's absence could extend into the season, as the team continues to assess the situation. Despite this setback, Jordan has a strong track record of durability, having missed only one NFL game due to injury during his 15-year career, though he did sit out a game last season due to an orbital fracture and another due to COVID-19.
