NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Saints first-round pick Jordyn Tyson missed practice on Saturday as part of a maintenance plan according to head coach Kellen Moore.

The No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft practiced fully on Friday. Moore said he didn’t get injured in that workout. Saturday was a planned off day for Tyson.

Tyson missed the entire 2023 college football season with a torn ACL. Last year at Arizona State, hamstring strains in both legs, forced him to miss the final three games of the season.

Tyson worked out at all three wide receiver spots on Friday, the X, Y, and Z, outside and the slot.
