New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (0) catches the ball during training camp at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center on Airline Dr. in Metairie, La. Sunday, Aug. 9, 2026.

If the New Orleans Saints plan to have wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and tackle Kelvin Banks return Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, coach Kellen Moore isn't ready to tip the team's hand yet. 

The Saints officially listed Tyson (hamstring) and Banks (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game, along with cornerback Martin Emerson (shin) and tackle Asim Richards (thumb). Running back C.J. Donaldson (shoulder/concussion) was ruled out. 

But most eyes will focus on Tyson and Banks — both of whom are on injured reserve, but returned to practice this week on a limited basis. 

Tyson, the eighth overall pick, is looking to make his season debut. Banks hasn't played since Week 2, when he suffered a high-ankle sprain that required surgery. 

"We'll see how their bodies are feeling coming out of this," Moore said. "They were limited this whole week, hadn't had them for a while so we'll see if it's an option this week or not." 

Emerson, meanwhile, did not practice Friday with a shin injury. The cornerback had recently entered the starting lineup, but if he can't play against the Browns, second-year corner Quincy Riley would likely take back his former spot. 

Richards' status, too, is also in question because he is recovering from thumb surgery, Moore said. The tackle, who had been filling in for Banks, underwent the operation during the bye week.
