Saints' Jordyn Tyson: On track for camp?
New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough said in June that Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) should be "firing on all cylinders" later this summer, ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell reports.A hamstring injury ended Tyson's 2025 campaign at Arizona State and kept him out of pre-draft drills, but Saints coach Kellen Moore suggested in May that the rookie's absence from early OTA periods wasn't necessarily related to his prior hamstring injury. Whatever the case, Tyson increased his involvement in late May and June, though there was never any report of participation in full-team drills. It sounds like Shough expects Tyson to be ready for training camp, where the Saints also anticipate getting Chris Olave (blood clot) back in action. There is some chance Tyson and/or Olave will be limited at the start of camp in late July.

Saints' Jordyn Tyson: On a maintenance plan
Jordyn Tyson, who practiced once during the New Orleans Saints' two-day rookie minicamp earlier this month, was one of several players on a "maintenance plan" to build them back up after having previously missed time with an injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.At the time, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football noted that Tyson, who was the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, dealt with a hamstring issue during the pre-draft process, so it's not surprising that the team was inclined to manage the wideout's reps during the rookie minicamp. Next up for Tyson and his teammates will be OTA sessions May 27-28, at which point Tyson will have an opportunity to work toward claiming a key role in a New Orleans passing offense that also features WR Chris Olave and TE Juwan Johnson. As long as he can avoid the injury bug going forward, Tyson is on track to earn significant snaps out of the gate this season alongside Olave, a context that could result in immediate fantasy relevance for Tyson, an Arizona State product.

Tyson participated in Friday's session, and there's no indication that it will impact his ability to participate in future offseason programs. The Arizona State product was the eighth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, and his addition gives the Saints a lethal one-two punch at wide receiver with Tyson working alongside Chris Olave.

Saints' Jordyn Tyson: Selected by Saints
The New Orleans Saints selected Jordyn Tyson in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, eighth overall.Tyson (6-foot-2, 203 pounds) had the best collegiate production profile between himself and fellow top wideout prospects Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon, but Tyson's injury history understandably caused some anxiety and until Thursday it was unclear whether NFL teams would red-flag Tyson over those injury concerns. That Tyson was picked this early seems to answer the question - the Saints looked into his knee and hamstring injuries and evidently decided to bet on his talent. Tyson suffered a torn ACL, MCL and PCL his true freshman season at Colorado, and hamstring troubles from his 2025 season followed Tyson into the offseason, leaving him unable to participate in pre-draft athletic testing. If one disregards the injuries as the NFL seemingly has, then there are otherwise only reasons to like Tyson. His production was compelling both at Arizona State and Colorado, and while Tyson won't ever be a great big-play threat he shows the ability to dice up the underneath to a high-volume extent, giving him clear 100-catch upside at the NFL level during his best years. Even as a rookie, Tyson should push for a heavy workload right away, likely running as the primary Saints wideout opposite Chris Olave.
