Saints Coach Drops Concerning Update on WR Jordyn Tyson
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson suffered a hamstring injury that head coach Kellen Moore says could linger into the regular season.
New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore has revealed that rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson will miss the start of the 2026 NFL season due to a hamstring injury. Tyson, the team's first-round pick in the 2026 draft, was injured during a joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coach Moore stated that the full extent of Tyson's injury remains unclear and that the team will await expert evaluation before planning his return.
This news comes as a significant blow to the Saints, who had hoped Tyson would form a dynamic duo with Chris Olave alongside quarterback Tyler Shough. Tyson's injury history, which includes a serious knee injury, a broken collarbone, and multiple hamstring strains during his college career, has been a point of concern for many teams.
Despite these issues, the Saints selected Tyson eighth overall, confident in his talent. However, now they may have spent a top-10 pick on a player who could miss the beginning of his rookie season.
