Saints linked to polarizing ex-Bears, Steelers WR free agent after Jordyn Tyson injury news

New Orleans Saints have brought in former Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool and veteran journeyman WR Josh Reynolds for free agent visits due to Jordyn Tyson's hamstring injury. Tyson is expected to miss a significant portion of the 2026 season, if not more, and the Saints are looking for additional depth.

Claypool, a 28-year-old receiver, has not played an NFL game since the 2023 season after struggling to establish himself in the league. He was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, recording 873 yards and nine touchdowns on 62 receptions and 109 targets during his time with the Steelers. Claypool then moved to the Bears, Dolphins, and Bills, but has not played since 2023.

Reynolds, on the other hand, is a more established nine-year veteran who has played with six teams throughout his career, but has been a reliable depth option at times. The Saints may explore the trade market for further help, but Claypool and Reynolds are intriguing additions for the team to monitor during the preseason and practices.
