Jordyn Tyson Injury, Rams Draft QB

Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson suffered another injury during the Territorial Cup game against Arizona. This adds to a concerning injury history for the NFL prospect, who was carted off the field last year in the same game.

The Los Angeles Rams, despite a strong 9-2 season, are already looking to the future. According to a recent mock draft, they are projected to select Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Simpson, a first-year starter, has impressed with his arm talent and aggressiveness. The Rams also have a second first-round pick where they are projected to draft Northwestern offensive tackle Caleb Tiernan. This would allow them to replace Rob Havenstein at right tackle whenever Havenstein moves on in his career, with the ability to play on the left side as well.

Why This Matters: These developments have implications for both college football and the NFL. Tyson's injury impacts Arizona State's performance and his draft stock. The Rams' potential draft strategy signals a focus on long-term quarterback succession planning, even with Matthew Stafford still playing at a high level.
