A big blow to the New Orleans Saints defense.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, Saints defensive tackle Bryan Bresee is feared to have suffered a torn ACL on Wednesday.
Bresee is having further testing, but a torn ACL would end his 2026 season.
The injury apparently occurred during the Saints’ first training camp practice during 11-on-11 drills.
The 24-year-old was an important piece of the Saints interior defensive line. The Saints drafted Bresee in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.
He’s started 26 games throughout his career, including 15 last season. The Saints recently picked up their 2027 fifth-year option worth $13.9 million.
Bresee previously tore his left ACL at the beginning of his 2021 season at Clemson.
