HC Dennis Allen believes Cam Jordan will be unable to play at some point
This is truly shocking. If you have a DE like Cam Jordan, why would you like to bench the guy? Well, Dennis Allen seems to have a different opinion on it as he explained, “You’re probably going to see a little bit more of Chase and Carl…Cam is still a vital part of what we do. … it’s no disrespect towards Cam, but it’s kind of how this game goes at some point in time”
In 2024, Cam Jordan had only 16 tackles in 11 games he played. This is far below what you would expect from a veteran player like him. It seems like he does not have a rhythm and at the same time, Carl Granderson has stepped up for the team. Granderson has 38 tackles in 11 games, which is why Dennis Allen is preferring him.
