Countdown to Kickoff: Terrell Burgess is the Saints Player of Day 26
Veteran Terrell Burgess will make a push for one of the final safety spots on the Saints depth chart
The New Orleans Saints' 2026 season is just 26 days away as the team prepares to face the Detroit Lions on September 13. In training camp, safety Terrell Burgess, wearing No. 26, has been the focus of the media. The 27-year-old from San Marcos, California, was drafted by the Rams in 2020 and played under defensive coordinator Brandon Staley.
Last season, Burgess suited up for 16 games, mostly on special teams, while battling competition from rookie Lorenzo Styles Jr. for a regular spot. The Saints' safety corps now features Julian Blackmon, Jonas Sanker, and Justin Reid, with Burgess in contention for the final spot.
