Saints guard Dillon Radunz has torn ligaments, defensive end Cam Jordan has a hamstring injury

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Saints reserve guard Dillon Radunz has torn a knee ligament and veteran defense end Cameron Jordan missed practice Sunday because of a hamstring injury, coach Kellen Moore said.

The 28-year-old Radunz left practice Saturday with what has since been diagnosed as a torn anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that normally requires season-ending, reconstructive surgery.

Radunz was entering his sixth NFL season since the Tennessee Titans made him a second-round draft choice in 2021.

He started 10 games for New Orleans last season, after which New Orleans signed him to a two-year extension.

Radunz has now torn an ACL twice, first doing so with the Titans near the end of the 2022 season.

Moore said Jordan’s hamstring injury occurred during practice last Thursday.

The Saints had Friday off and Jordan was excused from practice on Saturday to attend former teammate Drew Brees’ Pro Football Hall of Fame induction in Canton, Ohio.

Saints’ Etienne is still popular with ex-Jags teammates, touts Tuten’s potential with Jacksonville

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — New Orleans running back Travis Etienne Jr. and Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence greeted one another warmly near the middle of a practice field at Saints headquarters, catching up and posing for photos after their teams finished a joint practice on Thursday. From 2018 until this year, they'd known each other only as teammates — first at Clemson and then with the Jaguars, who drafted both in 2021. That changed in March, when the Saints lured Etienne back to his native Louisiana with a four-year contract worth up to $52 million. Still, Etienne was in high demand by former Jaguars teammates, coaches and other staff who looked eager to say hello and wish him well.
