Mason Tipton - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Recovering from tibia surgery Coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that Tipton is still recovering from offseason tibia surgery, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact It was initially believed Tipton was still recovering from the groin injury that landed him on injured reserve ahead of last season's Week 18 regular-season finale, but he evidently required surgery on his tibia and is working his way back from that procedure. Tipton has 25 catches for 175 scoreless yards on 43 targets across 25 career regular-season contests and is competing for his place in the Saints' wideout pecking order.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis: receiver Chirs Olave reports for camp as contract negotiations continue

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says veteran receiver Chris Olave has reported for training camp as he and the team work on a contract extension for the 2022 first...

Moves to active/PUP list The Saints placed Tipton (groin) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tipton suffered a groin injury in January and is likely still suffering from the same issue. The kick and punt returner does not have a return timeline at this point, so it is unclear if he will be able to participate in training camp. If the wide receiver cannot return soon, other skill-position players will have the chance to make their case as better depth players capable of producing on special teams, and Tipton may lose his roster spot.

Headed to IR The Saints are placing Tipton (groin) on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup with Atlanta, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Tipton will miss a second straight game to end the season, losing an opportunity at a top-three role with the Saints' receiving corp in a depleted state. Chris Olave will also miss Week 18, due to a blood clot in his lung, leaving Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis as the Saints' top wide receivers. They'll need practice-squad call-ups to help out this Sunday, and could also deploy TEs Taysom Hill or Moliki Matavao in larger-than-usual roles. Tipton, a 2024 UDFA, finishes his second NFL season with 11 catches for 76 yards. He caught 14 passes for 99 yards as a rookie, with a similar trajectory in terms of only getting snaps after other WRs were injured. Tipton likely will need to fight for his roster spot in 2026.

Absent from Thursday's practice Tipton (groin) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Tipton has now missed back-to-back practices to kick off preparation for Week 18. Prior to being ruled out for Week 17 he had logged three consecutive limited sessions, meaning the kick returner and rotational wideout appears to have since suffered a setback in his recovery from a lingering groin injury. Friday will represent his last chance to get onto the practice field prior to Sunday's regular-season finale against Atlanta.

No practice Wednesday Tipton (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact Tipton logged three consecutive limited practices prior to being ruled out to face the Titans in Week 17, so to see him now listed as a non-participant could indicate a setback in his recovery. If Tipton isn't able to gain clearance for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons, expect all of Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and practice-squad man Ronnie Bell to see increased opportunities behind No. 1 wideout Chris Olave.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive in Week 17 Tipton (groin) is listed as inactive Sunday in Tennessee.

Impact Tipton was listed as limited on all three of the Saints' Week 17 practice reports due to a groin injury, and while he went into the weekend with a questionable designation, he isn't healthy enough to suit up. With Tipton sidelined for the first time since Week 2, Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and Ronnie Bell will be the team's available WR options Sunday behind No. 1 Chris Olave. Tipton's next chance for game action is Week 18 in Atlanta.

New Orleans Saints inactives for Tennessee Titans game | 2025 NFL Week 17 Alvin Kamara, Bryan Bresee, Mason Tipton out for Sunday's game vs. Titans

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • NEWORLEANSSAINTS.COM

Officially questionable for Week 17 Tipton (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tipton has been listed as a limited participant on all three of New Orleans' practice reports for Week 17. With Chris Olave (back) also considered questionable to play Sunday after having been added to the injury report Friday, Tipton could have a chance to handle an expanded role on offense alongside Kevin Austin if he's cleared to suit up versus Tennessee. That said, Olave has played through his back issue with regularity since roughly Week 13.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited listing Tipton (groin) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report.

Impact Tipton was able to maintain his listing from Wednesday, but Friday's injury report ultimately will reveal if the second-year pro enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee. He's coming off four catches (on five targets) for 29 yards and one carry for 12 yards this past Sunday versus the Jets while working as the Saints' No. 3 WR behind Chris Olave and Kevin Austin.

DECEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Tipton (groin) was a limited participant in New Orleans' practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

Impact Tipton popped up on the injury report Wednesday after producing his best performance of the season during last week's win over the Jets, catching four passes for 29 yards. If the 25-year-old is unable to play Sunday versus the Titans, Chis Olave, Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis would be left as the only healthy receivers on the active roster.

DECEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs four catches Week 16 Tipton totaled four receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards during Sunday's 29-6 victory versus the Jets.

Impact Tipton stepped up as the Saints' WR2 with Devaughn Vele (shoulder) on IR. No. 1 receiver Chris Olave still outpaced the team's receiving corps by a significant margin with 10 receptions on 16 targets, and tight end Juwan Johnson was the true No. 2 receiving option with eight catches on nine targets. Quarterback Tyler Shough also had a massive performance with 308 passing yards on 49 attempts, which he's unlikely to repeat moving forward. Tipton's production should remain capped if he continues filling in as one of New Orleans' starting wideouts for the final two games of the regular season. The team will next play the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 28.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up Sunday Tipton (illness) is listed as active Sunday against the Jets.

Impact Despite missing practice Thursday and Friday due to an illness and entering the weekend as questionable, Tipton will be available to the Saints offense in Week 16. Since the team's Week 11 bye, he's started three of the last four games -- the first nods of his nearly two years as a pro -- en route to 10 touches (seven of them catches) for 53 yards from scrimmage and no TDs.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Jets Tipton (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after missing practice Thursday and Friday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact With Devaughn Vele (shoulder) recently placed on injured reserve, Tipton has a chance to step up as the Saints' No. 2 WR over the final three weeks of the season. If he can't play Sunday, the Saints will turn to Dante Pettis and Kevin Austin -- both of whom figure to have roles even if Tipton is active.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

DNP with illness Tipton (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact Tipton was a new addition to Thursday's injury report. The wide receiver should be able to practice Friday, and even if he is unable to, he will likely be ready to suit up for Sunday as long as his immune system takes care of business in a timely fashion. If Tipton cannot play for any reason, Dante Pettis and Kevin Austin may see an expanded role in the Saints' offense.

New Orleans Saints receiver Mason Tipton is tapping into his potential as a kick returner "Just keep becoming more dangerous. I’m pretty confident about that"

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • NEWORLEANSSAINTS.COM

Totals one yard Week 15 Tipton hauled in one of two targets for five yards and rushed once for a four-yard loss during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

Impact Tipton started his fourth game in a row and played the second-most offensive snaps (55) among the Saints' wide receivers behind WR1 Chris Olave (58). Devaughn Vele, who's become the No. 2 wideout over the last five games, played 38 offensive snaps before exiting with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. Vele was also seen wearing a sling after the game, likely putting his availability for Week 16 up in the air. If he misses time, then Tipton should be the next man up in the pass-catcher hierarchy behind Olave and tight end Juwan Johnson. The Saints will next play versus the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Sees zero targets in win Tipton totaled zero targets during Sunday's 24-20 victory over the Buccaneers.

Impact Tipton has moved into the WR3 role since the Saints let go Brandin Cooks three weeks ago. The 25-year-old logged exactly three catches on four targets in each of the previous two games, but he did not show up on the stat sheet versus Tampa Bay other than a 54-yard return on the opening kickoff. Quarterback Tyler Shough fell well below his average number of passing attempts with just 20 in Week 14. However, Tipton's playing time also took a hit, falling to 45 percent of offensive snaps after playing 70-plus in each of the previous two contests. Tipton's limited role shouldn't warrant much, if any, attention from fantasy owners. New Orleans will next play versus the Panthers in Week 15.
