From The Insiders on @nflnetwork following @wyche89 talking about the #Saints leaning on their TEs, especially with Jord Via @MikeGarafolo on X

What happened: Mike Garafolo said rookie tight end Oscar Delp has a hamstring injury, though early indications suggest it is not significant. NFL Network previously reported Jordyn Tyson is expected to miss roughly two months.

Why it matters: The injuries complicate New Orleans' plan to feature its tight ends during the final stretch of the preseason. The Saints invested the No. 8 and No. 73 picks in Tyson and Delp, respectively.

By the numbers: Delp has caught three of six targets for 10 yards and one touchdown through two preseason games.

What to watch: Delp's practice participation and availability for Friday's preseason finale are the next checkpoints.
