The New Orleans Saints may explore signing wide receiver Keenan Allen following Jordyn Tyson's expected two-month absence due to a hamstring injury. Tyson, a first-round draft pick intended to complement Chris Olave, was seen as a key addition to the team's offense. Without him, the Saints could turn to players like Kevin Austin Jr. or Bub Means, though neither would match Tyson's impact. Coach Kellen Moore has been consistent in stating the team has enough receiver depth, but the changing circumstances may lead them to reconsider adding Allen, who has a history with Moore from their time in Los Angeles. The Saints have financial flexibility to pursue Allen if they decide they need immediate help at the position.
- •Jordyn Tyson out for up to two months with a hamstring injury.
- •Kevin Austin Jr. and Bub Means may receive increased roles.
- •Keenan Allen has previous ties to coach Kellen Moore.
- •The Saints have over $12 million in cap space available.
- •Decision on Allen could come before the preseason game against the Rams.
