Tallies 4.0 sacks in 2024
Jordan made one solo tackle during Sunday's regular-season finale, a 27-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
Jordan suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Saints, recording 34 tackles (18 solo), including 4.0 sacks. He also logged four passes defensed and one interception. The 35-year-old veteran is heading into the final year of his deal with New Orleans, but his $12.5 million base salary for 2025 makes him a potential post-June 1 cut candidate.

Picks up another sack Sunday
Jordan recorded three tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 25-10 loss versus the Raiders.
After not recording a single sack over his first nine games of the season, Jordan has now collected four in his last seven games. He'll be hoping to further boost his season sack total in Week 18 when the Saints go on the road to take on Tampa Bay.
Healthy after ankle surgery
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.
Recovering from ankle surgery
Jordan is recovering from offseason surgery undergone to address an ankle injury that hampered him during the 2023 campaign, asgdsag reports.
Jordan suffered the ankle injury 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 only missed 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.
Restructures contract
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. The lowest total since his rookie campaign in 2011.
Plans to play in 2024
Jordan said Monday that he loves the Saints "too much to retire," Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Jordan dealt with nagging injuries nearly all season in 2023, and he ended up having his least productive year in terms of tackles and sacks since his rookie season in 2011. Nevertheless, it sounds like there's a strong chance he will play out at least the last year of his current contract. He currently sits at 23rd all time in terms of NFL career sacks, with 117.5.
Will play at Rams
Jordan (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game at the Rams, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Jordan was limited at practice all week, but it looks like he'll be ready to play in Week 16 anyways. He's had a disappointing season as a pass rusher thus far, recording just two sacks over 14 games.
Injury still present
Jordan (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Jordan injured his ankle in Week 12, and although he hasn't missed a game, he's been limited in the number of snaps he's played the last three weeks and in practice as well, with that trend remaining in Week 16. The veteran edge rusher should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Rams.
Set to suit up Sunday
Jordan (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Panthers.
Jordan injured his ankle in a Week 12 loss to Atlanta and was limited to a season-low 29 percent of the Saints' defensive snaps last week against Detroit. He followed a DNP during the first day of Week 14 prep with a pair of limited practices and will be able to play against Carolina. It's not yet clear, however, if he'll be on a limited snap count again.
