With the 2026 NFL Draft concluding, the New Orleans Saints have managed to put together a strong class of offensive prospects. In addition, they also made some quality defensive pickups in the early to middle rounds, which sets them up better than when they came into the three-day event. Fifth-round pick Lorenzo Styles Jr. was one of them, who is coming off a labrum injury and surgery following the 2025 season.
In positive news, he does expect to be on the field by the time training camp rolls around later this summer, with the surgery being completed early this spring. New Saints CB Lorenzo Styles said he expects to be healthy by training camp https://t.co/3VB6noHn62— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) April 25, 2026This is great news for the Saints, and likely played into their decision to select Styles Jr. for the secondary. With a big need for talent in the room, having him compete for a role in 2026 will be a huge positive, considering the loss of Alontae Taylor in free agency.
We will see who ends up being in the starting rotation for New Orleans at cornerback and safety, but with the STAR role open, as well as plenty of special teams reps to earn, Styles Jr. could end up finding playing time early in his NFL career.
