Baltimore showed six or fewer in the box on 21 of New Orleans' 24 designed runs — seven in eight, the most of any defense in Week 2, against 59% across 2025 — and the runs went for 54 yards, while Tyler Shough's contested-throw rate stayed well above his 2025 figure for a second week and 28 of his 34 throws were catchable, fifth in the league.

The charting from Detroit says 12 of Tyler Shough's 57 charted throws were contested — 21%, double his 10% across 2025 — against a Lions defense that sent five or more rushers on 35% of dropbacks, with none of the five sacks charted as his fault. The scheme was 2025's scheme on more snaps: motion 49.5% (49.7% last year), no-huddle 22% (22.5%), while the defense sent an extra rusher on 15% of dropbacks against 32% last season.

The Saints held the eighth waiver priority and used it twice Monday — tackle Mason Murphy from Chicago and defensive tackle Colby Wooden from Indianapolis, both Auburn products, into an offensive line and a defensive interior each thinned by a season-length injury. The plan we passed along to bring Terrell Burgess back on the practice squad did not happen: he signed with Tennessee's active roster. Cesar Ruiz and Quincy Riley returned to practice Tuesday; Lorenzo Styles Jr. went to injured reserve.

The Saints received trade interest in Spencer Rattler, per Jeremy Fowler's reporting, and kept him — alongside Zach Wilson and Tyler Shough, three quarterbacks on the initial 53. Daniel Carlson won the kicking job with a 53-yard game-winner in his only preseason appearance, Jordyn Tyson went to injured reserve with a designation to return, and Alvin Kamara stayed on the roster — a mechanics decision, not a practice report.

Alvin Kamara sprained his knee at a brawl-filled joint practice in Oxnard and is out about a month, days after rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson's hamstring timeline came back at two months. In between, Tyler Shough went 14 of 22 against the Rams, rookie Bryce Lance caught two more touchdowns from him, and the backups lost 34 to nothing in Los Angeles.

Tyler Shough went 25-of-34 with four touchdowns against Jacksonville's joint-practice defense, the best external evidence of his summer. The same week took back more than it gave: Jordyn Tyson's hamstring could linger into the regular season, Dillon Radunz tore his ACL, and Cam Jordan is nursing a hamstring of his own.

The eighth overall pick spent camp being built up in the slot, started catching everything, and Kellen Moore says the outside reps are coming. Tyler Shough's file is adding good days without settling anything — and today's practice cost the Saints a guard and a safety.
