Jordyn Tyson's start to his NFL career has hit a setback after he suffered a hamstring injury during training camp with the New Orleans Saints.
According to reports, the 22-year-old receiver, who was taken eighth overall in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, could miss at least two months as a result. The injury occurred last Thursday during a joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Saints head coach Kellen Moore has indicated that Tyson may not be ready for the start of the season.
Moore stated that any player in Tyson's situation would likely receive the same diagnosis, and emphasized that this injury is not related to Tyson's previous hamstring issues while playing at Arizona State. Tyson had been practicing every day in training camp before the injury, and Moore described him as having a good time getting acclimated to his new team.
The Saints are hopeful that Tyson will be able to return soon, particularly with the regular season just around the corner. They have made significant investments in their receiving corps this offseason, including signing Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year contract and extending top receiver Chris Olave's deal.
Tyson's injury is not the only concern for the Saints as they prepare for the upcoming season. Moore will be looking to build on the positive momentum from last year's second half, when quarterback Tyler Shough led the team to success behind a strong receiving corps.
