Tipton secured six of nine targets for 45 yards and returned one kickoff for 21 yards in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.

The undrafted rookie from Yale unsurprisingly saw a significantly extended role with Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Taysom Hill (ribs) all out for New Orleans. Tipton came into the night with a 6-40 line on 11 targets over his first five games, so his numbers Thursday essentially matched what he'd accomplished as a pro to date. The solid performance could be a sign of what's to come for Tipton the rest of the season, as Shaheed has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.
