The New Orleans Saints will add rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, according to sources. Tyson, the 8th overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, is set to make his debut after a hamstring injury that sidelined him since August. He returned to practice on Aug. 13 after injuring his right hamstring while catching a pass.

Banks, who also returned to practice following ankle surgery, is listed as questionable. Both players were placed on the injury report after extended rehab periods. Tyson, who missed three games at Arizona State and endured multiple knee and collarbone injuries in college, said the delayed start has been a blessing, allowing him extra time to adjust to the NFL.

The roster move coincides with the Saints releasing running back Kendre Miller, a 2023 third‑round pick, and signing Audric Estime off waivers from the Browns. The team’s ground game struggled, averaging only 18 yards in the previous game. The changes aim to address depth and performance concerns ahead of the bye week.
