New Orleans Saints guard Dillon Radunz is out for the 2026 season after tearing his ACL during Saturday’s practice, according to head coach Kellen Moore. Radunz, who signed with the Saints last year, had started 10 games last season and was a key reserve on the offensive line.

This marks the second ACL tear for a Saints player in camp; defensive tackle Bryan Bresee also suffered the same injury early in training. Moore noted other absences, including defensive end Cameron Jordan, who had a hamstring issue, and running back Alvin Kamara and long snapper Zach Wood, who missed practice to attend Drew Brees’ Hall of Fame induction.

Safety Julian Blackmon returned to practice after a knee injury, and wide receiver Chris Olave re‑joined play after a wrist evaluation. The team is now adjusting its line depth and preparing to fill the void left by Radunz’s injury.

Moore emphasized the importance of keeping players healthy in the remaining preseason sessions as the Saints look to secure a solid roster for the upcoming season.
