Jordyn Tyson injury update could change NFL draft stock, Browns options
· Yahoo Sports
At this point in the NFL offseason, what we do not know far outweighs what we do know about the 2026 NFL draft. That includes with the Cleveland Browns, for whom most fans have locked in wide receiver and offensive tackle in the first round of their mock drafts. Our own Doug Farrar had a different thought with his Browns seven-round mock draft.
At this time last year, no one would have had OT Armand Membou as a top 10 pick, few would have had OT Will Campbell there, and even fewer people would have had the Jacksonville Jaguars trading up with Cleveland for WR/CB Travis Hunter.

One receiver that has many Browns fans excited is Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson. The idea of bringing Jordyn to Cleveland to play in the same city as his brother, Jaylon Tyson, is intriguing. From a talent perspective, many believe the football Tyson is the best receiver in the 2026 NFL draft. The problem is his injury history.
The latest update could greatly impact Tyson’s draft stock as he will not participate in his Pro Day with the same hamstring issue that kept him out of the NFL combine:
It’s been 3 months 21 days since Jordyn Tyson last played a game.

According to Dane Brugler, he won’t participate at his Pro Day.
Also sounds like his hamstring may have flared up during his training.

Teams are very understanding when a player, like WR Chris Bell, is recovering from major surgery and cannot participate in the predraft process. Bell, also considered a first-round talent, is likely to fall into the second round due to his ACL tear near the end of the 2025 college football season.
Tyson not being able to work out or run routes before the draft could be seen in a negative light in two possible ways. First, nagging injuries are bigger issues than one-off things like an ACL tear. Teams want to know if a player will be available unless there is a major injury. Second, teams will question either Tyson’s toughness or his decision-making. Does he nurse injuries too much or did he push too hard in training and get himself hurt?
Tyson could go on to have a great career in the NFL, but barring a change in his ability to work out for teams, he is more likely to fall until late in the first round and, perhaps, even into the top of the second round.
