Mason Tipton faces roster battle with Saints entering 2026 season
Summary

With 15 days until their season opener against the Detroit Lions on September 13, the New Orleans Saints are focusing on player performance, including that of wide receiver Mason Tipton. The 25-year-old, who has been sidelined due to an injury that requires recovery after offseason surgery on a broken tibia, may begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Tipton has shown potential over his two years with the team, but must compete for a spot on a deeper receiving corps. He appeared in 14 games last season but struggled to make an impact, recording only 11 receptions for 76 yards.
