NEW ORLEANS -- The Saints will start rookie quarterback Tyler Shough against the Los Angeles Rams with Spencer Rattler remaining on the bench, the team announced Tuesday.

Coach Kellen Moore benched Rattler in favor of Shough midway through Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and said after the game that he'd take 48 hours to decide on a starting quarterback.

Sunday's game against the Rams will be Shough's first NFL start and his first start overall since he played for Louisville on Nov. 30, 2024.

He completed 17 of 30 passes for 128 yards, one interception and no touchdowns against the Bucs after entering with the team trailing 17-3. Prior to Sunday's loss, he had seen limited action only at the end of a blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3.
