NEW ORLEANS — The Saints have informed rookie quarterback Tyler Shough that he will be their starter against the Los Angeles Rams with Spencer Rattler remaining on the bench, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
Coach Kellen Moore benched Rattler in favor of Shough midway through Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and said after the game that he'd take 48 hours to decide on a starting quarterback.
Sunday's game against the Rams will be Shough's first NFL start and his first start overall since he played for Louisville on Nov. 30, 2024.
Saints bench Spencer Rattler for 26-year-old rookie Tyler Shough after disastrous start to season
The team informed Rattler they were making Tyler Shough the starter going forward after a 1-7 start to the season, according to multiple reports.
Shough, a 26-year-old rookie out of Louisville, saw his first significant playing time of the season when he replaced an ineffective Rattler during Sunday’s 23-3 loss to the Buccaneers.
Shough did not come in until late in the third quarter but still threw 30 passes, completing 17 of them, and was intercepted once while failing to lead New Orleans to any points.
“Tyler went in there and looked the part,” Saints coach Kellen Moore told reporters after the game on Sunday.
