Saints to Make Decision on Jordyn Tyson Very Soon
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson could be nearing his return to the field.
The New Orleans Saints are set to make a crucial decision very soon regarding their recently acquired first-round draft pick, wide receiver Jordyn Tyson. This decision has been eagerly anticipated by the team, as Tyson has been sidelined since August due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. Coach Kellen Moore has confirmed that the team will announce whether they will activate Tyson from injured reserve on Wednesday.
This timing is consistent with reports suggesting that Tyson's return could happen as early as this week during their game against the Cleveland Browns. If this timeline proves accurate, Tyson could significantly contribute to the Saints' cause, which currently sits at the bottom of the NFC South with a 2-5 record. The division remains competitive, with the Carolina Panthers leading the pack in first place with a 3-4 record.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons follow closely in second and third, respectively, with 3-5 records each. Drafted with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft out of Arizona State, Tyson showcased his talent during his collegiate career, tallying 136 catches for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns between 2024 and 2025.
Before Arizona State, he played for Colorado in 2022, where he contributed with 22 catches for 470 yards and four touchdowns.
