Overview
- Tyson has remained on injured reserve since suffering a right hamstring strain in a joint practice on Aug. 13 and has not yet played for the Saints.
- By Oct. 5 multiple outlets citing league sources reported Tyson is making rehab progress but remains "weeks away" from game action.
- Coaches and trainers plan to open the 21‑day IR practice window only when medical checkpoints are cleared, making activation dependent on his health rather than roster need.
- The Saints view a Week 7 return as the earliest realistic option but say the team’s trip to Paris and a Week 8 bye make a Week 9 debut more likely.
- Tyson’s college history of hamstring problems explains the cautious stance and means the team is weighing short‑term depth needs against the risk of recurrence and longer term availability.
