It continues a string of unfortunate injury issues that have plagued Tyson throughout his collegiate career, as he also dealt with a strained hamstring and a sprained ankle last year, as well as a fractured collarbone in 2024. The Saints will hope to see Tyson recover quickly and avoid such recurring injuries as he gets his professional career underway.
