New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett reports that the Saints had Jordyn Tyson work with doctors at the University of Wisconsin to address his recurring hamstring issues.
Tyson has dealt with recurring hamstring injuries since October 2025, and was most recently sidelined by a hamstring strain suffered on August 13th. According to Triplett, the Saints sent Tyson to be evaluated by Dr. Heiderscheit and his team, which received a $4 million research grant from the NFL in 2021 to study hamstring issues, twice during his three-month rehab program. Dr. Heiderscheit successfully treated Packers WR Christian Watson’s recurring hamstring injuries in 2024. According to Triplett, the specialists “determined that something was a little small” in Tyson’s hamstring fascia, which allowed the Saints’ training staff to update Tyson’s exercise regimen with needed alterations. Per Tyson, the changes have allowed the tissue “to fire better.” Given Dr. Heiderscheit’s track record, Tyson’s odds of remaining healthy for the rest of the season are trending upward. He warrants WR3/FLEX treatment at this time.
