Saints activate rookie WR Jordyn Tyson, LT Kelvin Banks Jr. from IR ahead of Week 9 Browns game

The New Orleans Saints plan to activate wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. from injured reserve for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Cleveland Browns. Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 draft, is making his NFL debut after missing the first half of the season with a hamstring injury. Banks, who suffered a severe high-ankle sprain requiring surgery in Week 2, returns after only six weeks on IR. The Saints, currently 2-5 and one game behind the other three teams in the NFC South, hope these returns improve their offense and pass protection. Tyson is expected to slot in as the No. 2 receiver behind Chris Olave, while Banks' return should help quarterback Tyler Shough, who has faced a 35.3% pressure rate this season. The team listed both players as questionable, with head coach Kellen Moore indicating their final status depends on how their bodies feel after limited practice sessions all week.
