Tyree Wilson recorded no tackles in the New Orleans Saints' 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2. This follows a lackluster performance in the season opener where he managed only two tackles. Wilson, the 2023 No. 7 overall pick, has not yet made a significant impact in his new team, raising concerns as he is in a contract year. The Saints acquired him via a trade that sent a fifth-round pick to the Raiders, who subsequently used it to draft safety Dalton Johnson, now a healthy scratch.
