Saints QB Tyler Shough Revealed to Be Playing with Two Broken Bones in His Hand
Tyler Shough remains available after the Saints say the quarterback is managing two broken bones in his left hand with tape and a protective glove.
- On Sunday, New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough played through two broken bones in his left hand against the New York Giants, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
- Shough suffered the fractures during an October 5 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Despite the injury, he has fully participated in practice while wearing a protective glove and taping his ring and pinky fingers.
- Team owner Gayle Benson publicly criticized the organization last Tuesday, calling the Saints' 1-4 start "not acceptable." Shough has completed 66.8% of his passes for 1,299 yards this season despite the injury.
- To protect his hand, Shough has been handing off the ball with his opposite hand. The team lacks a proven backup quarterback, forcing the injured starter to remain on the field.
- New Orleans faces the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris next week before a bye, providing Shough time to recover. The quarterback is expected to manage the injury throughout much of the 2026 season.
