Saints first-round pick Jordyn Tyson’s NFL debut reportedly won’t be coming in the early part of the 2026 season.
NFL Media reports that Tyson is set to miss around two months as a result of a hamstring injury. The wideout was injured during a joint practice with the Jaguars last Thursday.
That timeline would carry into October and makes Tyson a prime candidate to open the season on injured reserve. The Saints will be able to designate him as eligible to return if they wait to put him on the list until the cut to 53 players later this month. If he does go on injured reserve, he will have to miss at least four games before returning to action.
It’s a big blow to a Saints offense that was hoping to pair Tyson with Chris Olave to give quarterback Tyler Shough a pair of dangerous receiving threats in his first full season as a starter. The answer to how big a blow won’t be known until we see when the Saints are able to ramp Tyson back up into a contributor this fall.
