What happened: A hamstring injury will make Jordyn Tyson ineligible for at least the first four games of the 2026 season. His placement carries a designation to return.
Why it matters: New Orleans will open the regular season without its top 2026 draft choice. The designation leaves room for Tyson to rejoin the active roster later in the season.
By the numbers: Tyson was selected eighth overall after totaling 158 catches, 2,822 yards and 22 touchdowns in 33 college games.
What to watch: Tyson can become eligible for activation after the Saints' fourth game. His practice status will shape the timing of any return.
