Heading into the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, there were plenty of headlines to watch as the top prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft aimed to impress all the scouts and decision makers in attendance. The medicals surrounding former Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson were one of the more interesting topics of conversation. Widely considered to be a borderline top-10 overall player in the class, there is a deep love and appreciation for the talented wideout across the league.

With most front office members, scouts, players, agents, and media members all in one place, information and rumors are always going to surface in Indianapolis. That includes some potentially good news for Tyson and his medicals. According to a league source, the medicals came out “clean” for Tyson this week. This is believed to be as good as news that Tyson could have expected from this portion of the process.

The week began with a lot of skepticism when it was announced that Tyson wouldn’t participate this weekend due to a hamstring issue. With his history, seeing the 6-1, 200-pound playmaker miss more time was concerning. Being able to leave Indianapolis with some good news is a great step for his overall evaluation.

Jordyn Tyson’s medical history

It doesn’t take much searching to find Tyson’s injury history, which is less than ideal. While with the Colorado program in 2022, Tyson suffered a major multi-ligament knee injury, which included a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL. That injury also cost him the majority of the 2023 season, his first with Arizona State.

During Tyson’s breakout season in 2024 with the Sun Devils, which included 75 receptions for 1,101 and 10 touchdowns, it was also cut short due to a broken collarbone near the end of the regular season. In 2025, Tyson missed four games while dealing with a hamstring issue. In total, Tyson missed 18 games over the last four years. That is a troubling number, failing to play a complete season during his college career.

The next step for Tyson

Getting those results for the medical staff in Indianapolis is a great sign. Seeing him test at the Arizona State pro day will be the next thing that folks will want to see. If he is able to get on the field and move around like his usual healthy self, that could help continue his ascension back into the battle to be the top wide receiver off the board in April.

Tyson will also be a popular player when it comes to Top 30 visits. When he gets the chance to visit these prospective NFL teams, they will have their own team doctors examine him. While Tyson will get poked and prodded, it is always possible that the medical staff finds something that they didn’t during the Combine week.

Tyson isn’t out of the woods right now, but this update does give a lot of optimism about Tyson’s NFL fortunes. This was an important step, and it appears it was an extremely positive one without even performing on the field.
