New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has been playing with two broken bones in his left hand, sources told ESPN. The injury occurred during the Oct. 5 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and has forced Shough to tape his ring and pinky fingers. Despite the injury, he has not missed any playing time and continues to participate in practice.
Shough struggled in the recent game against the Minnesota Vikings, passing for a career-low 96 yards and throwing two interceptions. The Saints' 1-4 start has drawn criticism from team owner Gayle Benson, who called the performance 'not acceptable.' Shough remains optimistic, believing the team has a chance to improve. The Saints face the Pittsburgh Steelers next week before their bye week, which may provide additional healing time.
