Saints rookie Jordyn Tyson expected to miss two months with injury
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson is expected to miss roughly two months with a hamstring injury and could begin the regular season on short-term IR.
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is expected to be sidelined for approximately two months due to a hamstring injury sustained during a joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The injury occurred as Tyson exited practice early last Thursday. Initially, there was some optimism surrounding his recovery, but the latest update indicates a more extended recovery period.
Tyson, who was selected by the Saints with the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, quickly gained attention during his first NFL training camp. If he does begin the season on injured reserve, it's possible that he could return in October, contingent on the progress of his rehabilitation. Devaughn Vele, Barion Brown, and Bryce Lance could potentially assume a larger role in Tyson's absence, with Chris Olave forming part of the Saints' wide receiver corps.
