Saints quarterback Tyler Shough will not play in the preseason opener.
New Orleans head coach Kellen Moore said today that backup quarterback Spencer Rattler will start Saturday’s preseason game against the Jaguars.
Shough is the established starter after a promising rookie season last year. It’s not clear whether he’ll play at all in the preseason, but it won’t be this week.
Rattler is competing with Zach Wilson to be Shough’s backup. The Saints also have Hunter Dekkers, who signed with the Saints as an undrafted rookie last year and spent most of the season on injured reserve, on the 90-player roster.
