Saints activate Jordyn Tyson and Kelvin Banks for Browns game
The New Orleans Saints activated receiver Jordyn Tyson and tackle Kelvin Banks from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Tyson, the eighth pick in this year's NFL draft, is set to make his NFL debut after a hamstring injury kept him out since August.

To make room on the roster, New Orleans released running back Kendre Miller, who led the team with 159 rushing yards this season, and tight end Treyton Welch.
The Saints also temporarily elevated kicker Charlie Smyth and running back Zamir White from the practice squad for Sunday's game.
