Saints guard **[Dillon Radunz](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RaduDi00.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2026-08-09_pfr)** has sustained a torn ACL, as [Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football](https://x.com/nick_underhill/status/2086482491842449631) was among those to report. Radunz’s second season with the club has thus come to a premature end.
This is the second ACL tear of Radunz’s NFL career. A second-round pick of the Titans in 2021, the North Dakota State alum earned just one start as a rookie and was limited to 11 games (four starts) in 2022 due to the ACL injury.
Over the course of his limited action in his first two years in the pros, Radunz lined up at both guard spots and at left tackle. His versatility was again on display in 2023, as he started 11 games out of 16 total appearances and saw action at every OL position except center.
Radunz found a home at right guard in 2024, starting 15 games at the position in what would be his final year in Nashville. Although Pro Football Focus gave him a favorable score for his pass-blocking acumen, his run-blocking grade brought down his overall marks and placed him 58th among 77 qualified guards that year. It seems the league concurred with PFF’s assessment, as Radunz settled for a one-year, $2.25MM pact with the Saints last March.
