News

  • 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.

  • Records another sack in Week 2

    Granderson registered two solo tackles, including a sack, in the Saints' 20-17 win over the Panthers in Week 2.

    Analysis: Granderson was able to get to the quarterback for the second straight week to open the 2023 season. He now has 2.5 sacks heading into the team's Week 3 matchup with the Packers, only three sacks short of his career-high 5.5 set over 16 games in 2022.

  • 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

  • Plays most snaps of career in win

    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.

  • Will not return

    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.

  • Two-year deal with Saints

    Granderson signed a two-year deal to remain with the Saints on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    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.
