New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson sustained an apparent injury to his leg and exited Thursday’s joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“Yeah, I just know something with his leg,” Saints head coach Kellen Moore told reporters after practice. “Him — and (safety Terrell) Burgess was the other guy that left — something with their lower body, but I wasn’t over there for that one either. So we’ll see. We’ll get more information. We’ll probably have a better idea tomorrow.”
NewOrleans.Football reported Tyson’s injury, apparently to his hamstring, isn’t “super serious but obviously less than ideal.”
Tyson, who turned 22 on Wednesday, was selected by the Saints with the eighth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft out of Arizona State.
Named a third-team All-American for the second straight season, Tyson had 61 receptions for 711 yards and eight touchdowns last season despite missing three regular-season games with a hamstring injury. He recorded four 100-yard outings and twice caught 10 or more passes.
In 2024, Tyson caught 75 passes for 1,101 yards and 10 scores in 12 games for the Sun Devils before missing the final two games with a broken collarbone. The latter contest was a College Football Playoff loss to Texas.
The Texas native amassed 136 catches for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns in 24 games for Arizona State.
Tyson spent the spent 2022 season at Colorado before transferring to Arizona State. He had 22 receptions for 470 yards and four TDs in nine games for the Buffaloes before sustaining a major season-ending knee injury that led to him redshirting at Arizona State in 2023.
Burgess, 27, had 22 tackles and three passes defensed in 16 games (one start) last season with New Orleans.
