This team needs to find its Terrance Copper at WR.

Never going to be a star but can step in and start at WR2 for a few weeks and be just fine. Good news is there will be guys we can pick up that don’t make other rosters and I expect that will no doubt happen with the injury to Tyson. I’m sitting him until after Paris just to be safe if I’m CKM. That allows us to short term IR him and open a roster spot.

There were plenty of vets out there that the saints could've brought in.
I think they really like Lance and brown. Obviously they were happy with Tyson playing a huge role.
Everything would've been fine if Tyson didn't get hurt. Maybe they bring in a vet but it seems like they are ready to role with the young guys.
Polk was actually a sizeable loss with Tyson now being out. Polk had some of the same speed and yac as Tyson.

Optimistic about both as well, definitely will have to see how they hold up once they take a few full speed shots from starters but they have the skills.
Olave and Vele are ok as 1/2, plus J. Johnson.
I think we really need to work on getting Etienne & AK the ball often on routes and it will really open up the field for the receivers.
Also agree that they'll probably hold him until after the bye week

Also remember we have 3 TE that are all athletic and good pass catchers so a few more 2 TE sets could help compensate. I think Oscar Delp is going to see the field pretty early in some form on offense with Juwan Johnson still starting and Noah Fant around too.

The report said he could miss as long as two months….after the bye would be three full months from the injury. You sit him an extra month just to be safe?

Saints are still loaded at WR, which is crazy to say. #7 will get bumped and see what's up.

When players get repetitive HS injuries it can be a little frickey. Add to the fact that he’s adapting to the nfl and I think anywhere between 2 months and late season is possible. They’re going to treat this with kid gloves and it wouldn’t shock me if they have him go do some therapy outside of the usual local suspects who really dig into his biomechanics a bit more.

Terrance Copper
You almost need a Drew Brees at QB in order to have a Terrance Copper. I remember when we had a bunch of pass catchers out a Drew just kept putting up numbers with Copper and whoever else was out there

Trey Palmer is coming in as the new Lance Moore
Posted on 8/18/26 at 12:08 am to Chalkywhite84
We will be fine. Brown will start at WR3. Vele at 2 and trickle in Lance because he needs time to develop. Multiple pass catching TEs and 2 guys out of the backfield that do well in space that can both catch and run. This draft and free agency is underrated in my opinion. We were prepared for this and the next man up mentality wins championships.

Based on the initial reactions and early reports, I have been assuming the 2 months was because they were taking the kid gloves approach.
Also, how great would it be to bring him back for Monday night against Atl when there is no game film with him in the lineup. That would be 7 1/2 weeks
Another option is sit him against Atl, and have him suit up on a shorter week against Minn in W5 for 8 1/2 weeks of rehab.
Waiting until after the bye week would be 12 1/2 weeks since the injury

I know it's fun to romanticize that era, but saying "This team needs to find its Terrance Copper at WR." is like saying the team needs a Usama Young to complete the DBs.

Austin has been reliable as well so far.
Posted on 8/18/26 at 10:09 am to Weekend Warrior79
He should've been ready by now after a whole off-season. This was a mistake
Posted on 8/18/26 at 10:20 am to CedarGroveDog
First of all, rookies don't have an entire off-season. While other players are starting their rest/rehab, they are getting ready for the combine, Pro Day, rookie camps....
Also, your post insinuates that no other player around the league has suffered a soft tissue injury. I have yet to see a report (admittedly have not searched it out) that indicated this is related to the same hamstring injury that limited him last season and before the draft. If this holds true, how could he get ready for a similar, yet unrelated, injury?

Drew Brees had a lot to do with that. Certainly, you realize that, no?

He was also the reason we did not bring in a vet WR before the draft.
Looks like Austin/ Palmer will get a chance. Kind of sick of hearing Palmers name though, everybody hated Polk but has been sucking Palmers dick for absolutely no reason.
Thankfully for y'all the better WR retired so now y'all can obsess over the lesser talent....
Means/ Austin > Palmer

I didn't INSINUATE anything other than what I said. Hamstrings become chronic, they never completely heal. Whatever the case they obviously thought hame was 100% and it took what...a week for him to re injure it? Are you telling me you wouldn't have rather taken Downs then Boston or Bernard in the second?

Putting him on short-term IR to open up a roster spot is a smart move right now. Finding a reliable depth piece to step in at WR2 is going to be crucial.
