It sucks when the bad thing that’s obviously going to happen, happens. When the rain clouds fill skies to inevitably drop water on our scalps. When you drink too much and wake up the next morning feeling exactly as hungover as you expected. New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver limped into the 2026 draft with hamstring concerns from college—tough playing professional football with Mina Kimes’s build—is now out with a hamstring injury.
According to reports, Jordyn Tyson will be out 2 months with a brand new hamstring injury, unrelated to all the previous ones suffered at Colorado and Arizona State.
Jordyn entered the draft process nursing a separate hamstring injury.
I’m removing “injury-prone” from the lexicon, feels gross blaming players, especially football players, for injuries outside of their control. Honestly, in 2026, everyone’s always injured. We probably all have weak global pandemic joints.
But the frail receiver entering the pros with lingering leg injuries suffering another leg injury before the season even starts isn’t something the Saints, who drafted Tyson with the no. 8 pick.
It’d honestly be more revelatory if Tyson played all 17 games. And that’ll always be true going forward the remainder of his career.
What’s next for New Orleans?
Saints stay as they were last season. WR2 spot goes back to DeVaughn Vele, who grabbed the position when New Orleans traded Rashid Shaheed to Seattle at the deadline.. Vele caught 25 passes for 293 yards and 2 touchdowns, 20 of those 25 receptions and 254 of those 394 yards tallied in the final 5 games of the season.
Hopefully, Tyson returns impactful. As a Giants fan, not mad just disappointed, so many “experts” confidently declaring Tyler Shough better than Jaxson Dart, neither film nor stats supporting the claim, but let’s see Shough with a fully healthy Jordyn. Maybe he is better. I’m deleting that last sentence.
