Saints WR Jordyn Tyson left practice early with trainer Thursday. We’ve heard hamstring and hopefully minor. But ended his practice early after a strong start.

Triplett later reported that coach Kellen Moore didn't have an "initial update", so we don't have a lot to work with, but hopefully it's just a tweak for the Saints' presumed No. 2 pass-catcher. Assuming everything is cleared, Tyson should be considered an intriguing low-end WR3. If not, we could really see the Saints adding another body.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard has a hamstring injury. He’s week to week, per Dave Canales.

This clears more room for Brooks, who has already almost matched his teammate's ADP, to make a case for more early-season looks. We've already seen injuries force Hubbard to cede work to Rico Dowdle, and if Brooks is healthy, he is a far better talent than Dowdle. Draft Hubbard with caution, while Brooks continues to slide up the RB3 rankings.

The Carolina Panthers and free agent tight end Darren Waller reached agreement Wednesday on a one-year deal, his agency announced.

The 33-year-old playmaker spent last season with the Miami Dolphins working with new Panthers associate head coach/offensive specialist Darrell Bevell, who was Miami's passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach.

It would be easy to brush this one off, but that's what we tried to do last year before Waller scored six times in nine games in an oft-injured season. At the least, this lowers the floor for Sanders, who was already down in TE streaming territory. Assuming Waller is healthy heading into the season, it will be difficult to plug either TE into lineups.
