    Jordyn Tyson Injury Changes Everything, Saints Preseason Opener Takeaways

    The Saints’ preseason opener came with some encouraging performances — but the biggest news afterward was a major gut punch. Rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is expected to miss around two months with a hamstring injury, putting his availability for the start of the regular season in serious question. Mario Jerez and Erin Summers discuss Tyson’s injury history, Kellen Moore’s explanation that this injury was different from Tyson’s previous hamstring issues, and whether there’s reason for optimism despite another setback. How much does Tyson’s absence change the Saints’ offense? Does Chris Olave now face significantly more pressure? Who steps up as the potential WR2? And should New Orleans consider adding a veteran receiver? The guys also break down the Saints’ 24-20 preseason loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, including: Zach Wilson’s impressive performance and whether the backup QB competition could become more interesting. A disappointing night for Spencer Rattler, who struggled to generate explosive plays and made some costly mistakes. Bub Means continuing to make his case with a strong 4-catch, 77-yard performance. Ty Chandler’s 86-yard kickoff return getting the Saints off to a fast start. Jaylon Ford, Martin Emerson Jr. and Jayden Price making plays on defense. Why Martin Emerson could be one of the Saints’ most underrated offseason additions. Michael Heldman’s dominant night with two sacks and three tackles for loss. Barion Brown showing more of the playmaking ability we’ve been hearing about throughout training camp. Why Mario believes the Saints need to get Bryce Lance on the field in the next preseason game — and why Lance’s college production is impossible to ignore. The latest on Christen Miller after his impressive preseason debut was cut short by injury. Plus, the Saints turn the page toward their second preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams.

    Saints Shine in Joint Practice vs. Jaguars, But Jordyn Tyson Injury Raises Concern

    he Saints are finally getting ready for actual football games! Mario Jerez and Erin Summers break down everything that stood out from the Saints' joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars, including a strong day for Tyler Shough, Chris Olave looking like an All-Pro, and an offensive line that consistently created movement against one of the NFL's best run defenses from a year ago. The defense had plenty of highlights as well, with Julion Blackmon picking off Trevor Lawrence early, Jonas Sanker, Quincy Riley and Kool-Aid McKinstry making plays in coverage, and Chase Young repeatedly finding his way into the Jacksonville backfield. But the biggest concern coming out of practice was Jordyn Tyson, who left early with a trainer and did not return. The initial indication is that Tyson suffered a hamstring injury, and Mario and Erin discuss what we know — and what the Saints need to find out — before the preseason opener. Then it's time to look ahead to Saints vs. Jaguars! With the preseason finally here, Mario and Erin discuss the individual players they're watching most, including Barion Brown, Bub Means, Bryce Lance, Jonas Sanker, Lorenzo Styles and Jayden Price. Will a diamond in the rough emerge this preseason? Can one of the young receivers separate himself from the pack? And which players could make a major impression as the Saints' roster competition heats up? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Saints Release First Depth Chart | Saints' Defense Dominating their Offense, Lions Injury Concerns & Week 1 Preview

    The Saints have released their first depth chart of training camp, giving us plenty to discuss. Mario Jerez and Erin Summers break down the biggest takeaways, including Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne being listed as “OR” at running back, Chase Young appearing with an “OR,” Vernon Broughton listed as a starter, and why you probably shouldn’t put too much stock into the wide receiver order just yet. While the depth chart is out, the biggest story at camp continues to be the disparity between the Saints’ offense and defense. The defense has consistently made plays while the offense has struggled to find its rhythm, particularly when it comes to the timing between Tyler Shough and his receivers. Mario and Erin discuss whether that should be a concern heading into the preseason opener, while also highlighting some of the offensive players who have stood out. On the defensive side, Martin Emerson Jr. continues to make an impression. Emerson had a huge day in padded practice Tuesday, recording two pass breakups and an interception to end a two-minute drill. Mario takes a closer look at Emerson’s track record with the Cleveland Browns, where he started 33 games from 2022–2024 and became a key part of one of the NFL’s best defenses. Then it's time to look ahead to Week 1. The Saints are currently +6.5 underdogs against the Detroit Lions, with a +265 moneyline, and Mario and Erin discuss whether that line is giving Detroit too much respect — especially with the Lions dealing with several significant injuries. Cade Mays is expected to miss 8–10 weeks, while backup center Juice Scruggs is also dealing with an injury. The guys discuss how important Mays’ absence could be for Detroit, along with the status of Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch. Plus, quick injury updates around the Saints, including Cam Jordan’s hamstring, Demario Davis and Jeremiah Wright returning to practice, and other players dealing with injuries. Finally, Mario and Erin look ahead to Thursday’s joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Saturday’s first preseason game. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Chris Olave Gets His Bag, Saints Defense Sets the Tone at Camp

    Mario Jerez, Spanish play-by-play voice of the New Orleans Saints and proud New Orleans native, is joined by veteran Saints and NFL reporter Erin Summers to discuss one of the biggest stories of the Saints offseason: Chris Olave's new contract extension. Olave and the Saints agreed to a four-year, $130 million deal with $90 million guaranteed, making him the sixth-highest paid wide receiver in the NFL at $33 million per season. Mario and Erin discuss why the extension was a necessary move, how Olave has thrived despite constant coaching and quarterback turnover, and why his resilience and professionalism have helped make him one of the league's most consistent young receivers. The conversation also examines Olave's remarkable journey following multiple concussions during the 2024 season, the uncertainty surrounding his football future at the time, and how he responded with the best season of his career in 2025. Plus, the hosts discuss FanDuel's projections for Olave's receiving totals this season and whether he can continue producing at an elite level. Later in the show, Mario and Erin recap the Saints' third training camp practice before the team's scheduled day off. While the defense continues to look ahead of the offense in team drills, there were still encouraging moments from Tyler Shough, Bryce Lance, Noah Fant, and several young playmakers. The hosts break down key injury updates, roster notes, and what has stood out during the first week of camp. Defensively, Quincy Riley and Jaden Price generated buzz with impact plays in front of fans, while veterans like Ike Yiadom continue making strong impressions. Mario and Erin also discuss which individual players have caught their attention so far, including Kool-Aid McKinstry, Kaden Elliss, Nathan Shepherd, and others making a push for larger roles. Finally, the running back room is beginning to take shape. Alvin Kamara, Travis Etienne Jr., and Kendre Miller appear to be separating themselves from the rest of the group, and Miller's return from a season-ending ACL injury continues to be one of the most encouraging developments of camp.

    Saints Training Camp Day 1: Jordyn Tyson Shines, Defense Flies Around & Tyler Shough Takes Command

    The first day of New Orleans Saints training camp is officially in the books, and there was plenty to discuss. Mario Jerez and Erin Summers react to an energetic opening practice in Metairie, highlighted by full team drills, a fast and physical defense, and several encouraging developments on the health front. The biggest positive? Rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson was a full participant throughout practice after being limited during much of the spring. With the cautious ramp-up seemingly behind him, the conversation shifts from his health to what he can realistically bring to the Saints offense in Year 1. The hosts also discuss Chris Olave's limited participation as contract extension talks continue, the concerning knee injury suffered by defensive tackle Bryan Bresee, and what they observed from the Saints' revamped secondary. Justin Reid's description of the defense as "controlled chaos," along with his glowing praise for Kool-Aid McKinstry, offers another glimpse into the identity New Orleans is trying to build under Kellen Moore. Plus, Mario and Erin examine the running back rotation featuring Alvin Kamara, Travis Etienne, Kendre Miller, and Devin Neal, why Miller may have one of the highest ceilings in the room, and what stood out from Tyler Shough's media availability. The young quarterback discusses his leadership growth, confidence entering Year 2, and the increased responsibility he's been given within the offense. The show also looks at FanDuel's odds for Jordyn Tyson's rookie production, Alvin Kamara's outlook on the running back room, and why optimism around this Saints team feels noticeably different compared to a year ago. To close things out, Mario and Erin take a quick tour around the NFC South, including injury concerns in Carolina and the latest contract-related developments involving Falcons star running back Bijan Robinson.

    Saints Report to Training Camp! NFC South Shakeups

    Saints training camp is officially underway, and the excitement around the 2026 season is starting to build. On this episode of the BLEAV in Saints Podcast presented by FanDuel, Mario Jerez and Erin Summers break down everything from the Saints' opening training camp press conferences, including key comments from General Manager Mickey Loomis and Head Coach Kellen Moore. They also discuss the Saints' strong overall health entering camp, the significance of Chris Olave being cleared to practice despite ongoing contract negotiations, and what to make of rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson's recurring hamstring issue. Mario also explains why Tyson's situation reminds him of Marshon Lattimore's injury history at Ohio State and why patience may be required with the talented rookie. The conversation shifts to the offensive line, where continuity and the addition of veteran David Edwards have created optimism for a unit that quietly made major strides during the offseason. Mario and Erin also examine why the Saints' recent draft classes could become some of the franchise's best if several second-year players take the next step. Plus, Mickey Loomis offered some of his strongest praise yet for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, acknowledging that the Saints' ceiling this season may ultimately depend on how quickly the young signal-caller develops. The hosts discuss what that means for the quarterback competition and whether Taysom Hill still has a place on the roster. Kellen Moore also didn't shy away from expectations, openly stating that the goal is to win the NFC South and still be playing football in February. Is that confidence justified? Mario and Erin share their thoughts. Finally, the show takes a tour around the NFC South, including playoff odds for all four teams, a devastating injury for Carolina, Atlanta's quarterback concerns entering camp, and the latest developments in Tampa Bay, where Vita Vea has reportedly requested a trade and questions continue to surround the Buccaneers' long-term outlook.
