Troy Aikman, ESPN's lead Monday Night Football analyst, will face certain restrictions this season due to his consultant position with the Miami Dolphins. Similar to Fox's Tom Brady, Aikman will attend production meetings remotely and is barred from attending team practices. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy noted these measures haven't caused issues before and sharing information remains up to coaches and clubs. Aikman, who has been a lead commentator since 2022 alongside Joe Buck, will continue broadcasting games including those involving the Dolphins, who have no Monday night games this year amid a rebuilding phase. Aikman's consulting work helped the Dolphins hire a new general manager, and he is expected to be part of ESPN's Super Bowl LXI coverage with potential adjusted restrictions pending. ESPN NFL News reports this reflects the NFL's efforts to manage broadcaster conflicts of interest.

The New Orleans Saints announced that rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson suffered a right hamstring injury during a joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tyson did not return to practice after landing awkwardly on a catch, prompting the team to confirm he will miss some time. Coach Kellen Moore did not specify a return date and acknowledged the injury could extend into the regular season. He emphasized the need for expert evaluation and clarified the injury is unrelated to Tyson's previous issues at Arizona State. Tyson was already expected to miss the upcoming preseason game, and the Saints are monitoring his recovery before providing further updates. This news comes from ESPN NFL News.
