The New Orleans Saints will be without their top rookie wideout for the start of the regular season, but that could give two more a chance to make an immediate impact.
On Monday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Saints 2026 first-round pick Jordyn Tyson is expected to miss “roughly two months” with a hamstring injury suffered during training camp practice last Thursday (Aug. 13).
That timeline puts him on track to suit up in mid-October, roughly around Week 6, and it’s anyone’s guess how he’ll look upon return. Per reports, Tyson was having a standout camp, but battling back to that level from a hamstring injury in-season will be challenging.
Tyson may all of a sudden be a question mark, but his setback also has ramifications for fellow rookie wideouts, Barion Brown and Bryce Lance, who could be thrust into much larger roles out of the gate.
