News: 5 hours agoTyson (hamstring) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Tyson has logged consecutive limited practices since having his 21-day window to return from IR opened Wednesday. The rookie first-round pick could make his NFL regular-season debut as soon as Sunday against the Browns, though the Saints may want him to log at least one full practice before seeing game action. For his part, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football suggested that from his point of view Tyson didn't look limited Thursday. In any case, the wideout's return to action, be it this week or next, would be proceeded by an official move adding him to the 53-man roster.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tyson was selected by the Saints with the No. 8 overall pick of April's draft. He is a versatile receiver with decent size who led this rookie class with a 35% target share during the nine weeks he was active in 2025. Injuries cost him time during all four collegiate seasons, but he still managed a 158-2,282-22 receiving line in 33 games, posting a strong 2.73 YPRR along the way (third best in this class). Tyson suffered a hamstring injury in August and will miss a month or two of the regular season prior to taking over as the Saints' No. 2 receiver behind Chris Olave. Once healthy, Tyson has a path to a substantial role in an ascending offense led by second-year QB Tyler Shough and could find himself on the WR3 radar. Of course, with the injury, he's only worth a late flier.
