The New Orleans Saints star popped up on the Injury Report...

The New Orleans Saints will face off against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in a battle of rookie quarterbacks. Tyler Shough will take the field for New Orleans opposite the No. 1 pick in the 2025 National Football League Draft in Cam Ward.

The Titans rookie has started all season, while Shough has just seven starts under his belt. While this is the case, Shough has gone 4-3 as the team's starting quarterback and is actually leading all rookie quarterbacks this season in wins. Despite both the Saints and Titans having tough overall records, New Orleans is riding a three-game winning streak and it will be interesting to see how these two young signal-callers do while going face-to-face.
