Jordyn Tyson Remaining in Rehab Process During Minicamp

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) will continue his rehab process during mandatory minicamp. Tyson is mainly dealing with a hamstring issue, but it's not expected to impact his availability for training camp. Tyson will continue to work under a limited plan, so the Saints can monitor him and prevent him from aggravating the injury further. Once he's healthy, Tyson should slide in as the No. 2 wideout opposite Chris Olave. Tyson finished with 61 receptions, 711 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns during this past season with Arizona State. The Saints are hopeful that Tyson can provide a reliable No. 2 option for quarterback Tyler Shough this upcoming season.

Jordyn Tyson Remains Limited in OTAs on Thursday

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson's participation in OTAs on Thursday was "very limited," per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Tyson dealt with a hamstring injuries during the pre-draft process and in college, and the Saints are officially managing his workload as part of a maintenance plan to build him back up after an extended absence from football. The eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Tyson recorded 61 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns across nine games in his final season at Arizona State. Assuming he's able to stay healthy, Tyson should immediately step in as the number two option in the Saints' passing game alongside star wideout Chris Olave. It does not appear as though Tyson's status for training camp or the start of the 2026 season is in jeopardy, but fantasy managers should still monitor for updates on his progress over the course of the summer.

Saints Select Wide Receiver Jordyn Tyson Eighth Overall

The New Orleans Saints have selected Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson with the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Tyson was viewed as one of the top wide receiver prospects in this year's class. Tyson began his college career at Colorado before moving to Arizona State, where he spent his final three campaigns. In his first season with the Sun Devils, Tyson appeared in just three games and did not catch any passes. Over his final two seasons, Tyson would be limited to just 21 games but would make a massive impact, totaling 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns on 136 catches. He totaled a career-best 10 touchdowns during the 2024 campaign. Tyson is credited with having elite footwork and high-end ability to catch off-target passes. Tyson will likely slide in as the No. 2 option in an up-and-coming New Orleans offense that is led by second-year QB Tyler Shough. For fantasy, Tyson could see his workload limited, sharing the field with Chris Olave and running back Travis Etienne Jr.
