Saints Open Jordyn Tyson’s 21‑Day Practice Window
The move begins the medical clearance process that could allow the eighth‑overall pick to join the active roster and provide a needed boost to New Orleans’ offense.
Overview
- The Saints have designated rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson to return to practice and opened his 21‑day injured‑reserve practice window, starting the clock for possible activation.
- Opening the window does not guarantee activation because Tyson must clear medical checkpoints during the practice period before the team can add him to the 53‑man roster.
- New Orleans already counted Tyson as one of its IR designations when finalizing the roster and has used four of the eight total IR activations allowed in a season.
- If the team clears him in time, Tyson could be available to play as soon as the next game, giving the Saints a potential complement to No. 1 receiver Chris Olave and extra help for an underperforming offense.
- Tyson carries an extensive lower‑body injury history — including torn ACL/MCL/PCL in college, a 2024 broken collarbone and persistent hamstring trouble that kept him out of Combine drills — but his pre‑draft workout impressed New Orleans enough for the eighth‑overall pick.
