Morning support from Olave

Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson received a phone call from teammate Chris Olave on Sunday morning. Olave wanted to give the rookie confidence ahead of his debut. Tyson admitted he was nervous, but ready to play.

Olave has watched Tyson develop through the first nine weeks of the season while the rookie was on injured reserve. Tyson suffered a hamstring injury in mid-August. Olave praised the rookie's talent and play style.

A costly first catch

Tyson played 18 snaps and caught four passes for 30 yards in the game against the Cleveland Browns. His first career catch resulted in a fumble after a Cleveland player punched the ball out. The turnover gave the Browns the ball at their 1-yard line.

Tyson admitted he could not believe the mistake happened on his first catch. Quarterback Tyler Shough spoke to Tyson after the turnover. Shough told him that he could be upset after the game, but the rest of the action was still under his control.

Redemption and future chances

The Saints trusted Tyson later in the match. With the team trailing 13-9 in the fourth quarter, Shough threw to Tyson on third-and-5. Tyson caught the pass for 7 yards to pick up a key first down.

Saints coach Kellen Moore stated that Tyson will receive plenty of opportunities as the season progresses. Tyson played 13 snaps in the fourth quarter and overtime combined.
