News: 14 hours agoHead coach Kellen Moore said Thursday that he doesn't expect Tyson (hamstring) to practice next week, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Spin: At the time his most recent hamstring injury flared up in mid-August, Tyson was given a prognosis of roughly two months, which he's still in the midst of. As a player on injured reserve, his practice window can be opened next week, but that doesn't appear to be a consideration for the Saints at this time. It remains to be seen when the eighth overall pick in the 2026 Draft will be able to make his pro debut.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tyson was selected by the Saints with the No. 8 overall pick of April's draft. He is a versatile receiver with decent size who led this rookie class with a 35% target share during the nine weeks he was active in 2025. Injuries cost him time during all four collegiate seasons, but he still managed a 158-2,282-22 receiving line in 33 games, posting a strong 2.73 YPRR along the way (third best in this class). Tyson suffered a hamstring injury in August and will miss a month or two of the regular season prior to taking over as the Saints' No. 2 receiver behind Chris Olave. Once healthy, Tyson has a path to a substantial role in an ascending offense led by second-year QB Tyler Shough and could find himself on the WR3 radar. Of course, with the injury, he's only worth a late flier.
