The New Orleans Saints were dealt another training camp blow with OL Dillon Radunz tearing his ACL during Saturday’s practice, as announced by head coach Kellen Moore.

Radunz, a former second-round selection by the Tennessee Titans out of North Dakota State, was in line to be a rotational piece for this year’s offensive line groupings for New Orleans. The 6’6” lineman started ten games for the Saints in 2025 and appeared in all but two contests.

As a sixth-year veteran, Radunz was slated to be a valuable depth piece in a relatively young OL room. His versatility to take snaps at any position along the line made it easy for coaching staffs to slot him in where needed. Although Dillon’s injury will keep him off the field this season, there is no doubt his aid and presence will be felt elsewhere.
