Saints' Jordyn Tyson has first practice since August injury
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson returned to practice Wednesday after injuring his right hamstring on Aug. 13, marking a significant step toward his season debut.
- Tyson was a limited participant in practice alongside left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., who also returned following ankle surgery, with the Saints taking a cautious approach to their recoveries.
- The hamstring injury was contact-related and not connected to Tyson's previous hamstring issues, though he has a history of significant injuries including ACL, MCL, and PCL tears, a fractured collarbone, and a sprained ankle.
- Tyson expressed optimism about his recovery, noting he recently ran his fastest speed since rehabbing and feels more explosive than ever, while Saints coaches and teammates remain measured about his potential role this season.
- Tyson aims to contribute as a versatile playmaker and blocker to help improve the Saints' struggling offense, particularly their low-ranked rushing game, as the team awaits the return of injured running back Travis Etienne.
