Jordyn Tyson, the Saints’ first-round pick, is officially listed as “questionable” for his highly anticipated regular season debut against the Browns this Sunday. That one word tells you everything you need to know about the mystery surrounding his availability. The team has to make a final call on his status, and it feels like we are all holding our breath.
A First-Rounder Sidelined, and Still Waiting
This kid has missed the entire season so far. Can you believe it? A first-round talent, stuck on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, and he is just now returning to practice this week. The clock is ticking, too. He has got to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday afternoon if he is going to see any action against Cleveland. Talk about cutting it close. You gotta wonder how much of an impact he can even make after missing so much time, but man, getting a first-round wideout on the field would be a massive boost.
Injury Report Bloat: More Question Marks Than Answers
It is not just Tyson, either. This Saints injury report is getting serious. Kelvin Banks, who kicked off the season at left tackle, has been on injured reserve since Week 2 with an ankle injury. Guess what? He also needs to be activated by Saturday to play. Asim Richards has been filling in for Banks, but now Richards himself is questionable with a thumb injury. Head coach Kellen Moore even chimed in, saying cornerback Martin Emerson is questionable with a shin issue. And to make matters worse, running back CJ Donaldson is totally ruled out, battling shoulder and concussion problems.
This team is walking wounded heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Browns. Getting Tyson back, even in a limited capacity, could provide a much needed spark. All eyes will be on that Saturday deadline for activation.
