Despite being a first round pick, many draft scouts were put off by his collegiate injuries. Now he's dealing with a similar injury already. There's way too much bust risk here to roster as anything more than a late rounder.

Tyson landed in a perfect spot after New Orleans selected him eighth overall to pair with Chris Olave. He is an exceptional route runner who dominated against zone coverage in college. He showed out well in training camp; however, a fairly severe hamstring injury will keep him shelved for at least five weeks of the season, if not longer. He is worth a late-round stash, especially if you have a deep roster, and could pay dividends later in the season.

Fourth aggravation of hamstring injury in the last 10 months on the same leg as the knee he wrecked in 2022. Anything more than a redshirt year would be a pleasant surprise at this point, even if he's able to return in two months.

Tyson's highlight moments are as good as any receiver's in this class. The problem is Tyson has a lot of minor flaws with every phase of his game that crop up too frequently and lead to missed opportunities that could get magnified in the NFL if not corrected early. 

Tyson's injury history is another concerning matter. If he can tame both issues, he could become the Saints' future primary option or a strong 1-B to Chris Olave's 1-A. 

This year, Tyson is one of the most volatile rookies on the board. If you have strong starters and depth with starter ability in your WR room, you might choose to live with Tyson's boom-bust profile as a dart throw.

Tyson's latest hamstring injury raises the specter of his previous hamstring injuries. He will miss the first several weeks of his rookie season, if not more. He was my WR1 in the 2026 rookie class, but that assumed a level of health he may not have.

Jordyn Tyson likely to miss extended time

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for around two months because of a hamstring injury. He could be a candidate for the short-term Reserve/Injured list.

Handful of Saints being evaluated for injuries

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints DT Christen Miller (shoulder) and RB Audric Estime (ankle) are being evaluated on the severity of their injuries, according to HC Kellen Moore on Saturday, Aug. 15. No further upside on WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) as the Saints are 'still in collection mode.' WR Bryce Lance (soreness) was available to play but was banged up in Thursday's practice.
