New Orleans Saints rookie Tyler Shough will get the start for Sunday’s preseason game against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Kellen Moore announced on Saturday.
The Saints did not divulge their plan for who would replace Shough at quarterback after the second-round pick departs Sunday’s game.
Shough, 25, completed 15 of 22 passes for 165 yards with one touchdown in last week’s 27-13 setback to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also threw an interception that was returned for a score.
Spencer Rattler went 7-of-11 for 53 yards versus the Chargers, while Jake Haener completed 5 of 8 passes for 41 yards and an interception.
