Overview
- Tyson suffered a hamstring injury during a joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars and exited practice after slipping while catching a pass, according to team and league reports.
- Multiple outlets reported on Monday that Tyson is expected to miss about two months, has sought multiple medical opinions, and could begin the regular season on short-term injured reserve.
- Head coach Kellen Moore says the current hamstring is unrelated to Tyson's prior college injuries and described the play as a slip that would have injured any player in the same position.
- The timing would likely keep Tyson out of the Saints' early road games and could push his return into late September or October, which would force New Orleans to lean more on Chris Olave and depth receivers for targets.
- Tyson entered the draft with a documented injury history that included a multi-ligament knee tear, a broken collarbone and earlier hamstring problems, a record that shaped pre-draft handling and adds scrutiny to his early NFL availability.
