Bleacher ReportThe New Orleans Saints were dealt a huge injury blow on Monday. According to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, rookie wideout Jordyn Tyson is expected to miss around two months due to a hamstring issue:
CBS SportsThe injury is a huge blow for the Saints, who selected Tyson with the No. 8 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft. The rookie was expected to team with star wideout Chris Olave to give second-year quarterback Tyler Shough a high-level duo to attack defenses in the passing game, and he was shining throughout New Orleans' training camp.

Either way, the most likely course of action is for the Saints to let Tyson's injury heal and hope he returns at full strength around a month into the NFL season. Still, it's a rough way for Tyson to begin his NFL career, given how good he was reportedly looking during training camp.

"Any player in that situation probably has the same diagnosis coming out of this."
