Saints Activate Rookie Wide Receiver Jordyn Tyson From Injured Reserve
New Orleans designated first-round pick Jordyn Tyson to return from injured reserve, allowing him to practice and potentially rejoin the active roster later this season.
The New Orleans Saints have opened a 21-day practice window for rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, who was placed on injured reserve after aggravating a hamstring injury in the offseason. Tyson participated in his first practice session of the year, and team officials said a return to game action is possible, though they expect a gradual increase in his snap count to avoid further setbacks.
"He’s improving and feeling good," said New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett, adding that the team anticipates Tyson will resume practice soon.
Saints spokesperson Nick Underhill noted that while Tyson could see limited snaps this week, the organization prefers to ease him back into the lineup, with a realistic debut projected for Week 9 after the team’s bye. In the meantime, Bryce Lance has been operating as the secondary wideout behind Chris Olave.
The move does not immediately affect fantasy lineups; managers are advised to keep Tyson on reserve lists for the next several weeks, as his role will likely be limited initially even after activation.
