New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson sustained a leg injury during a joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 13. Initial reports suggested the injury might be a hamstring strain, raising concerns due to Tyson’s history of lower-body injuries during his collegiate career at Arizona State and Colorado, which included a major knee injury in 2022 and a fractured collarbone in 2024. Following further evaluation, it was determined that Tyson is expected to miss approximately two ~~months.~~ months, with a projected return in late October or early November. Head coach Kellen Moore clarified that the injury is not a recurrence of his previous collegiate hamstring issues, noting that the incident occurred after Tyson was pushed from behind. Because of the recovery timeline, Tyson may begin the regular season on injured reserve, potentially making him unavailable for the team’s opener against the Detroit Lions on September 13. In response to the setback, the Saints have held workouts with veteran wide receivers Chase Claypool and Josh Reynolds to bolster roster depth. Discussions have also emerged regarding other potential options to support the offense, such as targeting Kayshon Boutte or exploring trades for players like Keon Coleman. The injury has also impacted Tyson’s standing in fantasy football rankings and his odds for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
