New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. will be active against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Saturday.
Tyson, the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, is set to make his debut after injuring his hamstring in August. He returned to practice for the first time since injuring his right hamstring in a joint practice against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Aug. 13.
He was listed as questionable on the injury report along with Banks, who also returned to practice following surgery on his ankle.
Tyson was expected to be out at least two months after the hamstring injury, which occurred after he landed awkwardly after catching a pass.
Both Tyson and the Saints said the injury was not related to his previous hamstring issues from college; he missed three games for Arizona State last year.
He also tore his ACL, MCL and PCL in his left knee when he was at Colorado in 2022, fractured his collarbone in 2024 and sprained his ankle that caused him to miss spring practices in 2025.
Tyson said he feels like the extended time to get himself right has been "a blessing."
"Kind of got a slow start to the NFL, so I got to kind of take my time and kind of really adjust to it," he said.
A source said the Saints released running back Kendre Miller as a corresponding move upon activating Tyson off injured reserve.
Miller, a 2023 third-round pick out of TCU, led the team's struggling run game with 159 yards this season. The Saints released him after claiming running back Audric Estime off waivers from the Browns. Estime was with the team last year and in camp but was waived with an injury settlement.
The Saints rushed for only 18 yards in their last game before the bye week.
