The Saints have agreed to a two-year extension with Edge Cameron Jordan. The deal includes $27.5 million guaranteed, a particularly noteworthy number given that Jordan is already 34. He's coming off significant declines by nearly all measures last season, traditional stats and advanced metrics. This pact says New Orleans believes Jordan will remain a big part of the defense at least through this year, though. With a contract that now runs through 2025, Jordan's presence for 2024 seems like a lock as well. We'll see beyond that. Jordan doesn't sit as high in our IDP rankings as previous years. But he's also likely to go in value range of your drafts.

The NFL last week fined Saints EDGE Cameron Jordan -- as well as 2 coaches and the franchise -- for allegedly faking an injury late in the Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers. But the team and player both say MRI the next day revealed a mid-foot sprain in Jordan's left foot that he has been getting treated for through the bye week. We'll see about Jordan's status for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but he returned to that Bucs game. So we'd bet he'll be ready to play.

Saints EDGE Cameron Jordan (eye) is active for today's game against the 49ers, as is EDGE Marcus Davenport (calf). CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) is inactive. He still hasn't played since Week 5, recovering from what NewOrleans.Football calls a kidney injury.

Saints EDGE Cameron Jordan (eye) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers. He managed limited practices all week after missing the 1st game of his career with an orbital-bone injury. We'd bet on him returning. EDGE Marcus Davenport (calf) and CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) are also questionable. Lattimore is the one to watch. If he's ready to go, it would be his 1st appearance since Week 5.

The Saints have placed DE Cameron Jordan on the COVID list. We'll see whether his situation gives him a chance to return for Sunday's game at the Jets. New Orleans has already been down DE Marcus Davenport (shoulder) the past 2 weeks and could be in particularly rough shape at the edge spots if Jordan remains out.

Saints DE Cameron Jordan got booted from Sunday's loss to the Chiefs after the 3rd play of the 4th quarter. He got penalized for throwing a punch, a penalty that moved K.C. down inside the New Orleans 15-yard line to set up RB Le'Veon Bell's TD run. We don't expect the episode to affect Jordan's availability for Week 16.

Saints DE Cameron Jordan had February surgery to deal with herniated discs in his back, an issue he played through last season. ESPN's Mike Triplett reports that doctors have yet to clear Jordan to return to the field but that the player says he's "ahead of schedule." Jordan added, “I can’t give out a timetable for me being back 100 percent, but I do know that we’ll be well within camp, season." He posted a top-10 fantasy season in 2015 that included 10 sacks, with half of those coming over just 2 games. Sorting out the back issue can only help, as should the arrival of 1st-round DE Sheldon Rankins. We'll see when Jordan gets back to 100%.

Saints DE Cameron Jordan recently had arthroscopic surgery to "clean up something" in his lower back, according to Nick Underhill of the Advocate. Jordan intimated via Twitter that he faced 8 weeks of rehab, which shouldn't get in the way of his preparation for the 2016 season. We'll keep an eye on him to make sure that the back's OK come training camp. A healthy Jordan belongs among the top 20 D-linemen at fantasy football draft time and carries DL1 upside.

The Saints on Tuesday signed DE Cameron Jordan to a 5-year, $60 million extension, with $33.6 million guaranteed. Jordan saw his sack total drop from 12.5 in 2013 to 7.5 last season and garnered a much lower pass-rushing grade from Pro Football Focus. But it's clear that New Orleans believes in his all-around game. Heading into his age-26 season, Jordan should have a lot left to give IDP owners as well.

As expected, Saints DE Cameron Jordan (ankle) is active for the Week 9 matchup with the Jets.  He's a strong IDP option against a struggling offense.

Saints DE Cameron Jordan (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Jets. He put in limited practices Thursday and Friday after a full workout Wednesday. We still expect him to play after he turned up questionable in Week 8 as well -- and played.  We'll be watching the Sunday inactives.

Saints DE Cameron Jordan (ankle) is active for today's game against the Bills.  He's an easy IDP start in 1 of the league's most favorable matchups for fantasy D-linemen.

Saints DE Cameron Jordan (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo.  The right DE put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's workout.  Our guess is that he'll be active and a solid IDP option against the Bills.  But we'll certainly keep an eye on his status Sunday morning when the inactives come out.
