Will Jordyn Tyson play in Paris? Saints GM Mickey Loomis shares update
· Yahoo Sports
New Orleans Saints fans will have to wait until after the bye week to see their team’s first-round draft pick Jordyn Tyson. While the rookie wide receiver did travel with the team to Paris ahead of Sunday’s game with the Pittsburgh Steelers, longtime general manager Mickey Loomis told reporters Wednesday that Tyson will not be activated from injured reserve just yet.
”He’s improving, but he is not going to practice this week,” Loomis said. He stressed that Tyson’s hamstring injury was not related to the issues he dealt with in college, but acknowledged the team is taking a cautious approach with him: “Hopefully this is the one and only injury he has.”

Tyson impressed at training camp until he suffered a hamstring injury during a joint practice session with the Jacksonville Jaguars during the preseason, which landed him on injured reserve to start his rookie year. He missed several games during his final season with Arizona State with another hamstring injury, which lingered into the spring and kept him from participating at the NFL Scouting Combine as well as the Saints’ offseason program. He can make plays. The only question is how much time he can spend on the field.
