Overview

  • Spencer Rattler took first-team reps in back-to-back practices for the first time in Saints camp history, suggesting growing confidence from the coaching staff.
  • The first unofficial depth chart lists Rattler, rookie Tyler Shough and veteran Jake Haener jointly as QB1s, reflecting Moore’s decision to keep the race wide open.
  • Second-round pick Tyler Shough holds a fully guaranteed contract and has seen occasional first-team snaps as he vies for the starting role.
  • Jake Haener, the 2023 fourth-round selection, has completed just 18 of 39 career passes and must make an impression during the three-game preseason.
  • New Orleans opens the preseason Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers before kicking off the regular season on September 7.
