New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough was a full participant in practice Thursday, October 22, shaking off whatever was bothering his hand. This is huge news for Saints fans, especially with how inconsistent Shough’s performance has been lately.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Feast or Famine For Shough
Shough has been a rollercoaster this season, throwing at least three touchdowns in three of his six games. When he’s on, he’s *on*. But then you look at his last two outings: under 150 passing yards in both. That’s a serious dip. Is the hand the reason for that drop in yardage, or is something else going on? Full participation in practice suggests the hand isn’t holding him back anymore, but those recent game stats are still glaring. It’s got to be frustrating for Saints fans to see such a high ceiling mixed with these low floors.
What’s Next Against Pittsburgh?
Looking ahead, Shough and the Saints are set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. The expectation is that Shough should have some success against them. If he bounces back strong, we’re talking about him being a high-end No. 2 fantasy quarterback. But after two straight games with low passing yards, fans are going to be watching every single snap to see if he can get back to that three-touchdown form. Can he reclaim that high-octane production, or will the sub-150-yard slump continue? This Steelers game is going to tell us a lot about where Shough’s season is headed.
