Jordan (ankle) participated in Thursday's training camp session without any apparent limitations, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Jordan said that after injuring his ankle versus the Falcons in Week 13 last season he didn't feel himself, despite the fact that he didn't miss any time. Now fully healthy, the 35-year-old looks set to reprise a starting role up front for New Orleans, though considering Jordan's age and the addition of 2020 No. 2 overall draft pick Chase Young, the team could opt to approach the defensive end position as more of a rotation.

Jordan (ankle) participated in Thursday's training camp session without any apparent limitations, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Jordan said that after injuring his ankle versus the Falcons in Week 13 last season he didn't feel himself, despite the fact that he didn't miss any time. Now fully healthy, the 35-year-old looks set to reprise a starting role up front for New Orleans, though considering Jordan's age and the addition of 2020 No. 2 overall draft pick Chase Young, the team could opt to approach the defensive end position as more of a rotation.
Jordan is recovering from offseason surgery undergone to address an ankle injury that hampered him during the 2023 campaign, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports. Jordan suffered the ankle injury in mid-November, and while he didn't subsequently miss any games, his defensive snap share did notably diminish down the stretch. The 13-year veteran has missed only two regular-season games in his NFL career, so recovering from an ankle procedure doesn't add any true concerns about his durability. Jordan has stated that he desires to suit up for the 2024 season, and with better injury luck, he could be set for a bounceback after finishing out 2023 with just two sacks across 17 games.
Jordan restructured his contract with the Saints on Thursday, which will save the team more than $9 million against the cap this season, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Details of Jordan's adjusted contract are still unknown, according to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. However, it appears he'll still get his guaranteed $13 million this season while deferring some non-guaranteed money toward next year. The veteran lineman played a career-low 731 defensive snaps in 2023, which also saw him compile a career-low 43 tackles and just two sacks.
Jordan assisted on one tackle before exiting. The 13th-year veteran has 34 tackles in 2023.
