Overview
- The Saints designated rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson to return from injured reserve and he began practicing Wednesday, which started his 21-day window to be activated.
- Tyson has been on IR all season after a right hamstring strain suffered in training camp that kept him from making his NFL debut.
- Activation for Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns is not guaranteed because the team must clear his hamstring medically and weigh his practice progress.
- New Orleans has used four of the eight regular-season IR activations allowed by the NFL, making the decision to activate Tyson a roster-management tradeoff.
- Tyson was the No. 8 overall pick and has a history of major college injuries, including torn ACL/MCL/PCL and a broken collarbone, so the team is proceeding cautiously as his return affects his development and the offense’s depth.
