The story of Jordyn Tyson centers around his injury history. The hamstring injury that cut his final year at Arizona State short lingered up until the NFL Draft. We're currently in late July, and the New Orleans Saints still aren't ready to unleash Tyson without limitations. Fans are left with a simple question that they won't get the answer to now: When?
The only answer we have at the moment is not right now. For now, Tyson will continue to ramp up to being able to fully participate in practice. As bad as it sounds, it's much more irritating than something to be concerned about.
The Saints are ramping Tyson up because he was out for most of the offseason. One thing fans don't have to worry about is whether or not Tyson will participate in every part of practice. He will be on the field for everything but may simply take less reps early in camp.
Saints fans just want the full Jordyn Tyson experience
It can be difficult to know exactly how to take it. Kellen Moore said, "I think we'll see him play football tomorrow. So, he'll be ready to go and we'll build him up as we go, like any player."
Fans will be happy to hear Tyson is "ready to go" but may be a bit discouraged to know it means Tyson is ready to go but...
Tyson's acclimation process won't be severe, but any limitation this far into the process feels like a let down in a way. This isn't an ACL injury that we're discussing. In a perfect world, the Saints held Tyson out of most of minicamp and organized team activities to have him fully healthy for training camp.
When concerns revolve around a player's health, anything less than the greenest of lights can make you antsy. Still, this feels more like a green light than a yellow light.
With more detail, it's a sign of the Saints' caution working. The fact there's still more caution may make fans side eye Tyson's status, but we'll just have to sit back and trust the process. Tyson hasn't re-aggravated anything, and it's just the Saints remaining cautious as they have all season. Even if fans don't want to hear that now.
