With first-round pick Jordyn Tyson sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Saints took a look at Chase Claypool and Josh Reynolds, according to Adam Schefter. Mike Garafolo and the team's beat writers confirmed the tryouts, noting the workouts came as New Orleans weighs its receiver depth heading into the final stretch of camp.
Claypool, a former second-round pick, and Reynolds, a dependable possession target, are both established NFL veterans who could provide camp competition or roster insurance. Neither workout is a signed deal; the Saints are simply evaluating options while Tyson is out.
The Saints open the preseason's second week looking to stabilize a receiver group that has been thinned by injury.
