Shough Emerges as Saints’ QB1 on Open OTA Day
On the Saints’ first open OTA day, Tyler Shough locked in as QB1 by going 10-of-12 in 7-on-7 and distributing passes to seven different receivers, while rookie Jordyn Tyson was limited to individual drills. Spencer Rattler also worked, and Jonas Sanker led the early slot rotation. A Rath-led lineman reaction drill added a competitive element, and Mason Shipley competed at kicker as kicking battles begin. Several veterans were absent or limited, contract talks with Chris Olave continued toward training camp, and New Orleans plans joint practices with three preseason opponents while focusing on early-down installs and center depth behind Erik McCoy with rookies Simpkins III and Sherman in the mix.
