Highlights, takeaways from Day 2 of New Orleans Saints rookie minicamp
Key Points:
- The New Orleans Saints concluded their second day of rookie minicamp with a shorter session, focusing on gradually preparing players for the more intense practices leading up to training camp in late July.
- First-round pick Jordyn Tyson was held out of Saturday's practice for a planned rest day due to a lingering hamstring issue, following a full practice on Friday to manage his recovery carefully.
- Several other players, including kickers, rookie defensive linemen Christen Miller and Zxavian Harris, and running back CJ Donaldson, did not practice as the team implemented maintenance plans for minor injuries and conditioning.
- Rookie draft pick Barion Brown impressed during Tyson's absence by making a notable diving catch, highlighting his potential role primarily in special teams and as a receiver amid a competitive Saints receiving group.
