NEW ORLEANS -- Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson has a right hamstring issue and will miss time, according to Saints coach Kellen Moore.
Moore said that he's not going to estimate a timetable for Tyson's return yet, but when asked about the regular season, he said "it could" potentially linger into Week 1.
"We've just got to let these experts evaluate this and then we'll put together a plan," Moore said. "Not going to jump to conclusions. I don't have a doctor in front of my name, so I'm not going to jump to put together a timeline on it."
Tyson's injury occurred during Thursday's joint practice session against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He caught a pass and landed awkwardly, slowly getting up to test his leg before jogging off the field with athletic trainers. Tyson did not return to practice.
Moore said that Tyson's injury is not a result of his previous hamstring issues that he dealt with at Arizona State last year.
"I think my understanding of this one, any player that was put in his situation where your foot slips and you get shoved from behind, this has nothing to do with Jordyn's history," Moore said. "Any player in that situation probably has the same diagnosis coming out of this."
Tyson was among a number of players not scheduled to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars regardless of his health status. Second-team quarterback Spencer Rattler is scheduled to start Saturday's game.
