Saints’ defensive anchor Bryan Bresee may be sidelined with a torn ACL, a devastating blow as he’s not dealing with the same knee that injured him in college. Though the injury’s severity is still being confirmed, his absence looms large — he delivered 37 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks last season. With no strong free agent options or affordable trade targets, the Saints are leaning on rookies and limited experience, including Vernon Broughton, Christen Miller, and veteran Nathan Shepherd. Coach Kellen Moore admits the “next man up” approach is tough, especially when losing a player of Bresee’s caliber. The defense’s resilience will be tested as they gear up for the season without him.
