Saints first-round pick Jordyn Tyson’s NFL debut will reportedly not occur in the early part of the 2026 season. NFL Media reports that Tyson will miss about two months as a result of a hamstring injury. The receiver was injured during a joint practice with the Jaguars last Thursday. That timeline would extend into October and makes Tyson the leading candidate to open the season on injured reserve. The Saints will be able to designate him as eligible to return if they wait to list him until the 53-player cut later this month. If he goes on injured reserve, he will have to miss at least four games before returning to action. It’s a big coup for 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 of a hit it will be won’t be known until we see when the Saints can turn Tyson into a contributor again this fall.
