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.

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.
