New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson returned to practice for the first time since injuring his right hamstring in a joint practice against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Aug. 13. Listed as a limited participant, Tyson said the injury was a contact incident, not a reoccurrence of his previous issues. Coach Kellen Moore said the team will continue to build off the plan and see how the rest of the week goes.
Tyson, the eighth pick of the 2026 NFL draft, was expected to be out at least two months. He said he feels "more explosive than I ever have" after the extended rehab time. The Saints have been cautious with Tyson, who has a extensive injury history including torn ligaments in college.
Quarterback Tyler Shough praised Tyson's elusiveness and versatility, saying he brings a unique mentality to the offense. The Saints have struggled with slow starts and rank 28th in rushing yards, claiming Audric Estime off waivers while waiting for Travis Etienne to return from injured reserve. Tyson said he is anxious to get back on the field and make plays as a playmaker.
