  • Ends 2024 with 5.5 sacks

    In 17 games in 2024, Granderson recorded 61 tackles (36 solo), including 5.5 sacks, a forced fumble and four pass breakups.

    Analysis: The 2024 campaign was Granderson's third straight season playing at least 16 games, and it was his third straight season tallying at least 5.5 sacks. Among his teammates, only 2023 first-rounder Bryan Bresee had more (7.5). Granderson projects to remain a key piece on the edge for New Orleans in 2025.

  • Sacks Winston in Week 11

    Granderson recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 35-14 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Granderson was one of three Saints to record a sack in Sunday's blowout win, bringing down Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter. The Wyoming product has been one of the Saints' most productive pass rushers through 11 games this season, ranking second on the team with 4.5 sacks while also forcing one fumble. Expect Granderson to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.

    Granderson posted four tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to Carolina.

    Analysis: The Saints managed just one sack in the contest, which Granderson split with Nathan Shepherd. Granderson managed 3.0 sacks over the first three games of the season, but this was his first sack since.

  • Full participant in walkthrough

    Granderson (neck) was a full participant during the Saints' walkthrough practice Tuesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Granderson was estimated as a limited participant Monday due to a neck injury he sustained during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. It appears to be a minor issue, however, and he should avoid an injury designation heading into Thursday's game against the Broncos. Granderson has accumulated 24 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble through the first six games of the regular season.

  • Estimated as limited Monday

    Granderson (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.

    Analysis: Granderson played 76 percent of the Saints' defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, but it appears he sustained a neck injury in the process. The Wyoming product will likely play through the injury in Thursday night's matchup against the Broncos unless he downgrades to a DNP either Tuesday or Wednesday.

    Analysis: Granderson was once again a menace in the backfield, getting to Jalen Hurts twice, including a strip sack in the second quarter which was recovered by teammate Willie Gay. Granderson has now compiled 10 total tackles (five solo), including 3.0 sacks, over the last two weeks.

  • Logs career highs in 2023

    Granderson finished the 2023 regular season with a career-high 78 tackles and a career-high 8.5 sacks across 17 games.

    Analysis: Granderson showed promise as an edge rusher over the first four seasons of his career, totaling 14.5 sacks while playing a rotational role across 54 appearances. New Orleans locked in the 2019 undrafted free agent with a four-year, $52 million contract in September. In return, he rewarded the Saints with a team high in sacks as well as the team's third-most tackles behind inside linebackers Pete Werner and Demario Davis.

  • Will suit up at Rams

    Granderson (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game at the Rams, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: The Saints did not practice Monday, and Granderson was estimated to be limited at Tuesday's walk-through practice, but he was listed as a full participant for Wednesday's walk-through, removing any doubt that he'll play in Week 16. He'll resume his role as the Saints' top pass rusher Thursday.

  • Starts week limited

    Granderson (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Granderson's participation level was just an estimate with the Saints on a short week, as they play Thursday against the Rams and didn't hold an actual practice Monday. His status for practice Tuesday and Wednesday should give better insight into his chances of playing Week 16.

  • Logs another sack

    Granderson tallied five tackles (four solo), with a sack, in the Saints' 28-6 victory overs Carolina on Sunday.

    Analysis: Granderson was one of four New Orleans defenders to record a sack Sunday, bringing his total on the season to 6.5. The 26-year-old will now look to build off this strong outing in the team's upcoming matchup versus the Giants.

  • Paces team in tackles Week 12

    Granderson finished Sunday's loss to Atlanta with 10 tackles (four solo).

    Analysis: Granderson's 10 stops led New Orleans and marked his first double-digit tackle performance of the campaign. In fact, prior to Sunday, the veteran defensive end hadn't tallied more than six stops in any contest. Granderson's big performance against the Falcons pushed him to 54 tackles on the season, establishing a new career-high mark.

  • Logs sack versus Colts

    Granderson registered six tackles (three solo), including a sack, during the Saints' 38-27 win versus Indianapolis on Sunday.

    Analysis: Granderson was only one of two New Orleans defenders to sack Gardner Minshew, and he now has 5.5 sacks through eight games. The 26-year-old should have an ample opportunity to increase those numbers next week versus the Bears, whose offensive line has struggled so far this season.

  • Notches eighth TFL in loss

    Granderson had six tackles (five solo), including one tackle for loss, in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Jaguars. He also recovered a fumble.

    Analysis: Granderson stayed home on a double reverse and brought down Jamal Agnew for a one-yard loss in the fourth quarter. It was Granderson's eighth TFL through seven games, putting him just one shy of his career high from last season. He remains at 4.5 sacks, also one back of last year's career best.

  • Continues to be productive

    Granderson recorded six tackles (three solo), including one sack and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 20-13 defeat against the Texans.

    Analysis: Granderson tallied a season-high in tackles this past weekend, finishing tied for second on the Saints in total stops. The 26-year-old is in his first year of being a full-time starter on New Orleans' defense, and he's already earned a four-year contract extension. Through the first six games of the season, Granderson is easily having his most productive year ever, recording 23 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks (which leads the team).

  • Inks extension

    The Saints agreed to a four-year extension with Granderson on Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Granderson has already registered 2.5 sacks in two games this season and is well on his way to shattering his career-high 5.5 sacks registered last season. He joined the Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and has steadily seen more snaps on defense since then. Granderson will continue to be a force for the Saints' defensive front alongside Cameron Jordan, Nathan Shepherd and Khalen Saunders.

  • Big day in Week 1

    Granderson recorded four tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's 16-15 win versus Tennessee.

    Analysis: In a Week 1 game that quickly turned into a defensive slugfest, Granderson emerged as one of the game's most valuable players Sunday, creating pressures even on the plays where he wasn't taking down Ryan Tannehill behind the line of scrimmage. He'll look to build on his impressive 2023 debut at Carolina on Monday, where he'll line up across from Ikem Ekwonu.

  • Emerges down the stretch

    Granderson tallied career highs with 53 tackles (30 solo) and 5.5 sacks while playing 16 games during the 2022 regular season.

    Analysis: Granderson doubled his previous career high for tackles while also finishing with the Saints' fourth-most sacks this season. The 2019 undrafted free agent stepped up into a bigger role over the second half of the season, starting each of the final three games. Conversely, previous starting defensive end Marcus Davenport saw his opportunities consistently dwindle after he returned from a calf injury Week 12. With Davenport set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, it's possible…read more

    Granderson recorded six tackles (five solo) and one sack in Saturday's 17-10 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: While Granderson was on the field for a career-high 50 snaps this past weekend in Cleveland, he was able to collect his fourth sack of the 2022-23 campaign. He's now amassed at least four stops in five out of New Orleans' last six contests, and he'll look to keep momentum pointed north when the Saints square off against the Eagles in Week 17.

  • Steps up for injured defense

    Granderson recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old played a season-high 49 defensive snaps with starting defensive ends Cameron Jordan (orbital) and Marcus Davenport (calf) both inactive Week 11. As a result, Granderson also achieved season highs in tackles and sacks, as the Saints' defense pushed around the Rams' injury-decimated offensive line. Over his first nine games of the season, the 261-pounder totaled 22 tackles and one sack while playing 183 of his 298 snaps on defense. Granderson should continue to step up into a…read more

  • Returns in full Wednesday

    Granderson (eye) was a full participant during the Saints' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Granderson sustained an eye injury that forced him out for the remainder of Sunday's loss to the Vikings. However, this issue appears to have been minor given his ability to practice without any issues Wednesday. The backup defensive end picked up eight tackles and half a sack while playing 68 defensive snaps over the first three weeks of the season.

    Granderson (eye) will not return Sunday against the Vikings, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Granderson left in the second quarter with the injury and headed to the locker room. He did not record any stats before departing. In his absence, Payton Turner and Tanoh Kpassagnon will likely see extra opportunity.

    Analysis: Granderson earned a career-high 426 defensive snaps across 15 games in 2021, and he also tallied 25 tackles. He was rewarded with a contract worth $4.3 million, and he should continue to serve a key role along the Saints' defensive line moving forward.

  • Will play Sunday

    Granderson (illness) will play Sunday against the Panthers, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

    Analysis: Granderson cleared COVID protocols on Thursday, but he was considered questionable to play Sunday. He feels good enough to suit up though, and he should serve his usual rotational role on the Saints' defensive line Sunday against the Panthers.

  • Back in action

    Granderson (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Granderson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Dec. 25 after testing positive for the virus. As a result, he was forced to miss Monday's game against the Dolphins, however he is now in line to return for the Saints' Week 17 matchup against Carolina. Granderson should serve as a rotational defensive lineman, and he has two sacks across his last four games.

  • Added to COVID list

    Granderson (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive Saturday, Amie Just of NOLA.com reports.

    Analysis: Granderson has played a consistent role as a rotational player on the Saints' defensive line this season, only missing Week 9 against the Falcons with a shoulder injury. The third-year pro will likely cede work to Albert Huggins on Monday against the Dolphins.

  • Back from shoulder injury

    Granderson (shoulder) will return to action Week 10 against Tennessee, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Granderson missed a Week 9 matchup against the Falcons but had previously been active in each of New Orleans' first seven games. While largely working in a backup capacity, Granderson hasn't had a multi-tackle game since Week 2.

  • Out Week 9

    Granderson (shoulder) will not play in the Saints' Week 9 matchup versus the Falcons.

    Analysis: Granderson was a non-participant at practice all week due to a shoulder injury, so his absence Week 9 is not unexpected. As a result, Tanoh Kpassagnon and Payton Turner (calf) could potentially see some extra snaps backing up Cameron Jordan and Marcus Davenport on the edges.

  • Beefing up

    Granderson said Saturday that he's checking in at 277 pounds during training camp, Amie Just of NOLA.com reports.

    Analysis: Formerly a developmental prospect out of Wyoming, Granderson has put on some weight since checking in at 6-foot-5 and 254 pounds as a 23-year-old at the 2019 NFL Combine. He reportedly weighed 270 pounds during last year's mini-breakout campaign in which Granderson racked up five sacks and two forced fumbles over 291 defensive snaps. Now even heavier, Granderson should remain a key rotational piece for the Saints as they attempt to replace Trey Hendrickson's production.

  • Two sacks in regular-season finale

    Granderson totaled two solo tackles -- both of them sacks -- in the Saints' 33-7 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: It was a solid finish to the season for Granderson, who enjoyed a career year. The second-year defensive end provided 14 tackles (11 solo), five sacks and two forced fumbles as an NFL sophomore and will look to build on the strong campaign in 2021.

  • Second sack of season

    Granderson finished with one solo tackle and a sack in the Saints' 21-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Granderson recorded his first sack since Week 1, though his two on the season are a new career high for the second-year man. He's been largely absent from the box score this season, and Granderson isn't an IDP option for fantasy purposes.

  • Gets to quarterback in win

    Granderson finished with two tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: The Wyoming product finished 2019 with just 11 tackles (eight solo) and one sack, so his Week 1 performance is certainly encouraging for his rest-of-season outlook. He'll look to take the next step forward this season and will get the Raiders up next in Week 2.
