The New Orleans Saints have sent rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson to the University of Wisconsin for specialized treatment regarding recurring hamstring issues.
Tyson, who recently made his NFL debut after a three-month injury absence, underwent evaluations by Dr. Bryan Heiderscheit and his clinical team.
According to “NewOrleans.Football”, the team arranged two separate visits for the athlete to address long-standing physical setbacks.
Tyson previously dealt with hamstring injuries during his tenure at Arizona State, which prevented him from participating in his Pro Day and the NFL Scouting Combine.
The research at the University of Wisconsin is supported by a “$4 million NFL grant” awarded in 2021 to advance methods for preventing and treating such injuries.
Dr. Heiderscheit identified a specific muscle weakness in Tyson that is now being addressed through a tailored workout regimen.
This clinical approach has seen previous success with Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson.
The experts successfully helped Watson recover from his own series of hamstring ailments, allowing him to maintain a consistent presence on the field this season.
Watson has since achieved career-high statistics, recording 49 catches for 879 yards while leading the league with an average of 17.9 yards per reception.
The Saints organization remains optimistic that similar results can be achieved for their rookie receiver.
Team officials believe that if Tyson can maintain his health, he possesses the potential to reach a high level of performance similar to other players who have benefited from the program.
The specialized treatment protocol is viewed as a critical step in ensuring the long-term durability of the young wideout.
As reported by “Yahoo Sports”, the collaboration underscores a league-wide commitment to leveraging advanced medical research to protect player health and extend professional careers.
