Few NFL teams have experienced a disruption on par with the New Orleans Saints in 2021.

It didn't get better Monday, according to the NFL transaction wire.

Left defensive end Cameron Jordan, who never has missed a game in his NFL career, was placed on the NFL's reserve/Covid-19 list. Jordan, a three-time All-Pro who is tied for second on the team with four sacks and has 98.5 in his career, has started 171 of 172 career games since being drafted in the first round in 2011.

Jordan will need to produce two negative tests before he can return to football activities.

And receiver Deonte Harris, who leads the Saints in receiving yards (523), is second in receptions (31) and has three touchdowns, will serve an NFL-issued suspension for the next three games for an off-field transgression this offseason. Harris was sentenced to a year of supervised probation after pleading not guilty to driving under the influence, with an agreed statement of facts following a traffic incident in July.

"You're waiting, and now we'll go through that process," Payton said of Harris, who also averages 11.2 yards on 12 punt returns, and 23.6 on 25 kick returns. "We kind of knew at some point that was going to be something he was dealing with and then we as a team would deal with it."
