A likely first round pick wide receiver won’t participate during this week’s 2026 NFL Combine. Per draft analyst and The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson won’t work out this week due to a lingering hamstring injury.
Sources: Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson won't be doing any on-field workouts or testing at the NFL Combine.
He continues to work his way back from his in-season hamstring injury.

It appears all Tyson will do is weigh-in, go through the interview process, and medical checks. The medical will be key for Tyson not just due to his current injury but a long list of ailments that limited an otherwise strong college career.
As our scouting report noted, Tyson has a checkered medical history. In 2023, he tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL in his knee. In 2024, he broke his collarbone. And in 2025, he was in and out of the lineup due to his current hamstring injury that will prevent him from working out at the Combine.
Despite the ’25 hamstring pull, Tyson still put together 61 catches for more than 700 yards and eight touchdowns. For his career, he found the end zone 22 times while being coached by former Steelers’ receiver Hines Ward. When healthy, we noted Tyson’s tremendous athleticism that would’ve been on display had he been healthy enough to test and participate in the on-field drills.
Instead, Tyson will look to get healthy and recover for his Pro Day. Arizona State is in the Big 12, which has held a conference Pro Day in past years. There’s no reporting on what that could take place or if Tyson would attend. Some top prospects, like Tyson, have opted to skip the conference-wide event and instead hold an individual workout. That might make more sense, especially since it could allow Tyson to schedule his later in the pre-draft process. That would give him maximum time not just to recover but to train and prepare for the testing and drills.
Tyson is jockeying to be among the first wide receivers off the board. He’s in similar standing as Ohio State’s Carnell Tate, USC’s Makai Lemon, and Washington’s Denzel Boston. Our scouting reports show a congestion of receivers with similar grades, meaning Indy could be a separator. Wide receivers will go through their on-field workouts Saturday. Unfortunately, Tyson won’t be able to state his case.
