- On Oct. 26, 2025, New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore said he would take 48 hours to name a starting quarterback for the Nov. 2nd game against the Los Angeles Rams.

- With experience gaps apparent, the choice will rest on who fits the game plan for LA, as Tyler Shough has yet to start while Spencer Rattler's career starting record is 1-13.
