Dillon Radunz
No. 77 · 6th season
Radunz's season ends before it starts.
A torn ACL is a season-ending injury, full stop. For Dillon Radunz, an offensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints, that means 2026 is gone. The Saints are now dealing with at least two major injuries along their front five—another player already sidelined with a torn ACL—which forces the team to reshape protection schemes and draft capital mid-stream.
Radunz will spend the next year in recovery. That is the long road: surgery, months of strengthening, a slow return to game speed, the doubt that creeps in during every rep. For an offensive lineman, the job is about consistency and trust—your quarterback needs to know you are there, same as yesterday. That trust has to be rebuilt from scratch.
