  • Saints' Jordan Howden: Sees solid playing time

    Howden appeared in 16 games during the 2023 regular season, tallying 43 tackles, including one sack, and five passes defended.

    Howden provided some solid value during his 2023 rookie campaign. The fifth-round pick out of Minnesota was one of the primary fill-ins for starting strong safety Marcus Maye (shoulder), who was sidelined for the final six games of the year. Howden played at least 95 percent of defensive snaps in seven games, though he played 43 percent or less of defensive snaps in his other nine appearances. He'll look to work his way into a more full-time role in 2024.

  • Saints' Jordan Howden: Ready for Sunday

    Howden (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    The rookie safety out of Minnesota was able to practice in full Friday after beginning the week with a DNP, making it seem as if he's been able to move past his illness. Howden has seen his role grow throughout the year, and in his 14 appearances thus far, he's recorded 41 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, while also deflecting five passes and forcing one fumble.

  • Saints' Jordan Howden: Returns to practice Thursday

    Howden (illness) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Brooke Kirchhofer of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    It's a step in the right direction for Howden after he could not participate at Wednesday's practice. If he's able to upgrade to full participation Friday, he will likely avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Saints' Jordan Howden: Full participant Wednesday

    Howden (finger) was able to log a full practice Wednesday.

    Howden looks like he'll be set to return to the field Sunday versus New England after he missed the Saints' Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers due to a finger injury. The 23-year-old will be back in his starting role at strong safety, pushing Ugo Amadi back to the bench.

  • Saints' Jordan Howden: Won't suit up vs. Bucs

    Howden (finger) is out for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

    Howden will have to sit out at least one game as he deals with a finger injury he apparently sustained in Week 3 at Green Bay. Ugo Amadi could see an increase in reps as long as Howden remains out.

  • Saints' Jordan Howden: Misses practice

    Howden (finger) did not practice Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Howden likely suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to Green Bay, although he played 100 percent of the team's snaps and recorded four tackles along the way. He'll work to return to the practice field Thursday, as the team prepares to take on the Buccaneers on Sunday.

  • Saints' Jordan Howden: Expected to start

    Howden will start for the Saints on Sunday against the Packers in place of the suspended Marcus Maye, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    The rookie fifth-round pick gets the nod with Maye sitting the first of three games due to violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Howden started 49 games in five seasons at Minnesota and recorded 240 tackles, 24 passes defended and four interceptions. The safety will try to step in and help a defense that has yet to allow 300 total yards or more than 17 points to an opponent in 2023.
