What happened: Wide receiver Jordyn Tyson returned to practice Wednesday, marking a key milestone in his recovery from injured reserve. Quarterback Tyler Shough highlighted the rookie's impact after the session, noting that Tyson brings a distinct playmaking element with the ball in his hands.

Why it matters: New Orleans drafted Tyson eighth overall in 2026 out of Arizona State, but the wideout is still waiting for his NFL debut after opening the campaign on the sideline. His potential return offers a much-needed perimeter weapon for an offense looking to rebound from a 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

By the numbers: In 2026 through 7 games, Shough has completed 183 of 273 passes for 1,721 yards with 13 touchdowns and 6 interceptions.

What to watch: The coaching staff will evaluate Tyson's practice participation throughout the week before determining his activation timetable.
