NFL.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Saints' first-round pick Jordyn Tyson will miss about two months due to a hamstring injury sustained in practice last week, according to NFL Network insiders.
- Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 draft, has a history of injuries, including knee, collarbone, and previous hamstring issues, which raised concerns before the draft.
- Despite his injury history, Tyson demonstrated toughness and skill during college, notably playing through two hamstring injuries in a 2025 game and leading his team in receptions and yards.
- Tyson's absence leaves the Saints' receiving corps relying on established players like Chris Olave and other young receivers, posing a challenge for second-year quarterback Tyler Shough.
- Head coach Kellen Moore remains optimistic about the offense, but Tyson's injury is a setback for the Saints' 2026 season outlook.
