Summary
Four takeaways defined Tuesday’s Saints practice, with the defense again controlling the session ahead of Saturday’s preseason opener against Jacksonville.
Tyler Shough went 15-for-27 with 2 interceptions, while the offense’s bigger problem remained situational errors — including a false start on third-and-2 with 14 seconds left in a hurry-up drill.
Martin Emerson Jr. led the secondary with 3 pass breakups and an interception, and Carl Granderson added relentless edge pressure plus an interception of his own.
Spencer Rattler finished 7-for-9 with 1 interception, Zach Wilson went 9-for-15 without a turnover, and Shough still produced a red-zone touchdown to Juwan Johnson on fourth down.
The practice also came with injury concerns: Davon Godchaux rolled an ankle, Rezjohn Wright hurt his hip, and Cam Jordan remained out with a hamstring issue.
