I mean we don't know. Moore called it "a leg" in the way that he does.

Underhill insinuated it was a Hammy last night but I don't think anyone knows for sure

Well he has time to heal if it's a hammy. Wtf does he do to his legs to have weak hammys? He should have been doing therapy or working out.

Sounds like it will linger into the season.

Bad

Hearing he’s out minimum 7-8 weeks

I’d laugh at this board for calling him a great pick and he can’t even keep healthy 1 week into practice.

Trash pick considering your star already battles concussions.

I’m hoping for the best for this kid. We need him to turn out. Bad.
But he’s done nothing to make me feel any different since the moment they announced his name.
Young Kellen all of us have made bad calls. Let this be a lesson. Best player available. Look in the mirror and ask yourself. Was that the best player still there with that pick ?

He was healthy for the first 12 practices.

But sure, sport.

Damn. That's not good.

The injury didn't even look like a hamstring to me but it was hard to see. This is concerning but people writing him off are foolish. I was a huge fan of downs because he covers 2 or 3 positions and will play like a vet from day one.

Tyson is also a very good player but does have injury concerns. It's kinda crazy he is out 7 or 8 weeks from that play. To me that shows that he might need to go to some kind of specialist to figure this out for his long-term outlook.

Issue with hs issues at this point of the year (especially one of this apparent severity) is how high the re-injury risk for the remainder of the year is upon return to play. At some point he’s going to have to see a specialist and really look at his specific biomechanics and figure out why he’s seemingly more susceptible.

Look at the comments from reporters and players during camp.. He's "twitchy", "explosive", "changes direction so fast", etc..

Every word they used to describe him could be listed in the "how to pull a hamstring" cookbook.

Some players don't deal with it, he obviously does.

I would imagine it’s too late to start a new program to strengthen his hamstring as that will be a new off season program. My guess is it will be a issue all season. The talent is certainly there so let’s see what science can do after this year. It’s not the end of the world…yet.

Maybe you guys should listen to me

I got 8 downvotes for telling you 4 days ago what the Saints disclosed today re: Tyson

This was the knock on him in Sun Devil land and why drafting him was somewhat of a gamble. Forever injured.


Looks to me like the Saints rolled the dice and rolled

SNAKE EYES -- AGAIN.

Oh boy.

Lattimore has hammys too and turned out great for us


Different situation. We drafted Lattimore coming off a year where he played 13 games at OSU. He had already hurt the hamstring, had issues, and had surgery on it in college

I also keep seeing Odell and his injuries brought up as a reason for optimism for Tyson. I don’t think people realize he’s been in the league since 2014 and only has had 3 season at peak due to injuries. You do NOT want Tyson to take an Odell trajectory

Bad enough to reinforce to Mickey once again that he probably shouldn’t use first round picks on dudes with an injury history in college

Go ahead and roll the dice on risk reward after the first 32. But top 10? Come on man

If you think Loomis picked him over the guy Moore wanted I can't help you.

He’s quickly becoming the Cam Cleeland of wide receivers
