Overview
- Tyson suffered a hamstring in practice and is expected to miss roughly two months, NFL Network reporters Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo said Monday.
- The timeline would nearly guarantee Tyson will miss the opening weeks of the regular season and makes a short‑term Injured Reserve designation likely.
- Tyson had been a standout in Saints training camp as the team’s first‑round receiver, so his absence alters New Orleans’ early game plans and target distribution.
- The club is consulting outside experts on the injury and managing recovery carefully because Tyson has a history of prior injuries including earlier hamstring trouble, a 2022 knee issue, and a 2024 fractured clavicle.
- If Tyson’s recovery follows the current estimate, the Saints will lean on established receivers and depth players early while monitoring his rehab and availability for a midseason return.
