Dion Jordan Unavailable To Return For Sunday’s Game
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dion Jordan (knee) has been ruled out for the second half of Sunday's season finale versus the Seahawks due to a knee injury. Jordan had entered the contest questionable to suit up with the same knee ailment, not having made a play that affected the stat sheet before departing. Jordan finishes his first year with the 49ers having appeared in 13 games and collected 17 tackles, five quarterback hits, three sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. The 49ers Defense was hampered by injuries in 2020, but fantasy managers can expect the unit to reclaim much of its shine and fantasy relevance come '21.
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Dion Jordan (shin) is dealing with a "stress issue" in his shin, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Jordan is expected to be held out for at least another week. The team plans to take it slow with him after playing in only five games for the team in 2017. Jordan was a bust as a first-round pick (third overall) for the Dolphins, but he showed promise with four sacks in five games for Seattle last year. If healthy, he'll have a big role on the team's defensive line.
Dion Jordan Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Dion Jordan (knee), who had cleanup surgery on his knee a while ago, is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks, but he should be ready for training camp, barring any setbacks. It's good news for a Seattle defense that will need Jordan to step up in the absence of Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril in 2018. The 28-year-old has been a first-round bust so far, totaling just seven sacks in three seasons played, but he did have four sacks in just five games for the Seahawks in 2017.
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Dion Jordan (knee) recently underwent a cleanup procedure on his knee, which is why he isn't taking part in organized team activities. Typically, his procedure requires a six- to eight-week timetable for recovery. Jordan was a first-rounder in 2013 by the Dolphins but has mainly been a bust. However, he did have a career-high four sacks in five games for Seattle last year before injuries took their toll. He still has some upside left if he can stay healthy, but he's not off to a good start this offseason.
Seattle Seahawks restricted free-agent linebacker Dion Jordan signed his one-year tender offer on Thursday to return to the team, according to a source. The 28-year-old was a first-round bust for the Dolphins in 2013, but he had a career-high four sacks for Seattle last year and the team's coaching staff is high on him moving forward. Jordan won't require consideration in most IDP leagues, but he could play his way onto rosters throughout the year if he stays healthy.
The Seattle Seahawks placed an original-round tender on restricted free-agent defensive end Dion Jordan on Wednesday, meaning he'll receive a salary of $1.907 million in 2018. Seattle can match any offer another team signs Jordan to or receive a first-round pick as compensation. Jordan was the third overall pick by Miami in 2013 and missed all of the 2015 and 2016 seasons due to a drug suspension and a knee injury. However, he had four sacks in five games for Seattle last year and could be a post-hype breakout on defense next season if he can stay on the field.
