Saints' No. 8 Pick Jordyn Tyson Could Miss 2 Months With Hamstring Injury

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 18

Summary

  • Two months on the sideline would likely cost Jordyn Tyson at least five games, putting the Saints' first-round receiver on track to return around Week 6.
  • Thursday's joint practice with Jacksonville caused the injury when Tyson's foot slipped and he was shoved from behind, with coach Kellen Moore calling it a fluke rather than a recurrence of past hamstring trouble.
  • New Orleans had expected the 22-year-old Arizona State product to bolster Tyler Shough's offense after Tyson's 1,101-yard 2024 breakout and his selection at No. 8 in April.
  • The setback trims a revamped Saints attack that already features Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara and newcomer Travis Etienne Jr. on a four-year, $48 million deal.
