Jordyn Tyson expected to miss significant time for Saints with injury

Summary

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson could be sidelined for two months due to a hamstring injury suffered during practice. This injury differs from his previous hamstring issues, raising concerns given his history. The Saints have until August 30 to decide whether to place him on injured reserve, which would mean a mandatory absence of at least four games. Tyson’s potential return could align with Week 6, but he may also be available by the home opener on September 27 against the Las Vegas Raiders if recovery progresses well. His absence will impact the roster as the Saints face formidable opponents in their first two games.
