Saints Get Update on Cam Jordan Injury That Could End Rare NFL Streak
Saints HC Kellen Moore says Cam Jordan could miss time with a hamstring injury, threatening his remarkable NFL durability streak.
The New Orleans Saints received an update on Cam Jordan's injury that could potentially end his rare streak of playing in every NFL season. Jordan, 37, signed a one-year contract with the Saints on June 16, marking his 16th and final season in the league. Throughout his 15-year career with the Saints, Jordan has achieved eight Pro Bowl honors, two second-team All-Pro selections, and one first-team All-Pro nod in 2017.
Despite his remarkable durability, missing only two games in his entire NFL career due to an orbital bone fracture and COVID-19 in 2021 and 2022, he might be sidelined this season with a hamstring injury. Head coach Kellen Moore informed reporters that Jordan will miss some time due to the injury, though it's unclear if it will last the entire season.
Despite this setback, Jordan remains one of the best defensive linemen in the league, boasting 132 career sacks, which ranks 22nd all-time. His recent 2025 season saw him tally 10.5 sacks, his best total since 2021, along with 47 combined tackles, 15 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. As the anchor of the Saints' defense, any extended absence would significantly impact the team.
