Saints deciding on practice windows for WR Jordan Tyson, RB Travis Etienne

Nov 02, 2026

The Saints have yet to see rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson in game action, but they would move closer to that moment if the first-round pick is designated for return from injured reserve this week.

Tyson has been out since injuring his hamstring this summer and head coach Kellen Moore told reporters on Monday that the team is still working through a decision on opening the wideout’s return window.

Moore said the case is similar for running back Travis Etienne and left tackle Kelvin Banks. Etienne has been out since Week 3 with a hamstring injury and Banks sprained his ankle in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact:

If either player does practice Wednesday, they will have 21 days to work with the team before they must be activated and they can be activated at any point in that window. It's not expected that Tyson would return to game action the same week he begins practice, sources who follow other team have said. Etienne is dealing with a hamstring injury. It will be worth watching this week to see if either player can have their window open.

Patriots: 'We'll see' if A.J. Brown (knee) practices this week

HC Mike Vrabel said, "we'll see" when it comes to A.J. Brown practicing.

Fantasy Impact:

Vrabel said the team will see how Brown progresses and see what he looks like during the week. Brown did not play in Week 8, of course, and this isn't necessarily a positive outlook for his Week 9 status. But, there is a long way to go and we'll likely have a better idea as the week goes on. The Patriots host the Packers in the later Sunday window of Week 9.

Jets RB Breece Hall (quad) set to return Week 9

Ian Rapoport reported Jets RB Breece Hall is set to return in Week 9.

Related players: Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis

Fantasy Impact:

Hall's quad appears good to go. Rapoport said again the team doesn't plan to trade Hall, but even Rapoport wondered what would happen if a team came along and gave them a good offer - especially because Allen has proved to be a nice RB1 option. If the team doesn't move off Hall by this week, it's looking like it will be a workload split between Hall and Allen. Granted it's the Jets, but it would be hard to not give Allen at least a decent-sized workload given how he's preformed with Hall out of action.

Jets say there will be no fire sale

Breece Hall missed his fifth straight game with a quad injury on Sunday and Braelon Allen continued to shine in his absence.

Hall has practiced the last two weeks and he’s been scratched after being listed as questionable, which has joined Allen’s performance as reasons for some to wonder if the Jets might be thinking about trading Hall ahead of the November 10 deadline.

The Jets have also reportedly rebuffed overtures from teams interested in trading for wide receiver Garrett Wilson, so it does not appear that their 2-6 start is going to lead to a fire sale over the next week.

Fantasy Impact:

Allen ran 21 times for 147 yards and a touchdown in the 38-33 loss to the Raiders and he’s averaging just over 100 yards a game while Hall has been out of the lineup. It seems like trading Hall should at least be considered by the Jets, especially with a replacement already proving he's a quality NFL back. But Glenn insisted, "Breece is still a part of this team," and the Jets are, "in the business of keeping good players." It could be coach-speak as teams this time of year look to drive up prices as the trade deadline gets closer.
