Overview
- Tyson left a joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday after suffering a right hamstring injury and walking off the field with a trainer.
- Head coach Kellen Moore said Friday that Tyson will miss time, that the team is still collecting medical information, and that the injury could potentially linger into Week 1.
- The Saints have already ruled Tyson out of their preseason opener against Jacksonville, costing the rookie game reps and short-term chances to build timing with quarterback Tyler Shough.
- Local reporters initially described the injury as “not super serious,” but the coach’s cautious update and the team seeking expert evaluations have tempered early optimism.
- Tyson’s extensive prior injuries — multiple hamstring problems last season, a 2022 knee injury, and a 2024 fractured clavicle — raise durability concerns and could force New Orleans to lean on depth pieces while monitoring his recovery.
