New Orleans moved on from Chris Tyree at halftime of the Saints-Chargers preseason game, waiving the wide receiver with an injury designation and placing him on injured reserve. The move ends any immediate path to a Week 1 role and tightens the Saints’ WR depth as they finalize the roster.

Tyree’s camp showed little spark, so the decision aligns with preseason evaluations even though the timing stings for a young player hoping to earn a spot. For fantasy managers, Tyree is off the radar this season, and any return would hinge on waivers, settlements, or a late-season surprise.

With Tyree out, the Saints’ WR room will be tested behind the top options, and late preseason shuffles could yield a surprise practice-squad or waiver addition. Monitor how the team reshapes its pass-catching corps as the roster settles for regular-season readiness.
