The New Orleans Saints have suffered a significant blow to their wide receiver corps, as prized rookie Jordyn Tyson will be out for approximately two months due to a hamstring injury sustained during a training-camp practice last week.

According to a report from NFL Media, Tyson has been consulting with specialists and may begin the season on injured reserve as he rehabs from the injury. This setback is a huge blow to the Saints, who selected Tyson with the No. 8 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft.

The rookie was expected to team with star wideout Chris Olave to give second-year quarterback Tyler Shough a high-level duo to attack defenses in the passing game. Tyson was shining throughout New Orleans’ training camp, and his absence will be deeply felt by the team.

History of Hamstring Issues

Tyson has a history of hamstring issues dating back to his time at Colorado and Arizona State, but the NFL Media report stated that this appears to be a new injury unrelated to his prior ailments.
