Rookie Tyler Shough got the start in the second preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome and completed nine of 12 passes for 66 yards as the Saints entered halftime down 17-3.

The second-round pick out of Louisville had a tough first two possessions but led a nice scoring drive in the second quarter, highlighted by a 28-yard completion to tight end Treyton Welch. Kicker Blake Grupe ended the drive with a 51-yard field goal.

The Jaguars played their starters on offense and defense while the Saints rested their defensive starters which allowed Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence to have a strong outing in limited reps (eight of 10 for 76 yards with a touchdown).

With Trevor Penning out with an injury and veteran Erik McCoy resting, the Saints starting offensive line was Kelvin Banks (left tackle), Dillon Radunz (left guard), Torricelli Simpkins (center), Cesar Ruiz (right guard) and Taliese Fuaga (right tackle).

The following healthy players did not play Sunday: safety Julian Blackmon, receiver Brandin Cooks, linebacker Demario Davis, defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, defensive end Carl Granderson, tight end Juwan Johnson, defensive end Cam Jordan, running back Alvin Kamara, McCoy, cornerback Kool-Aid Mckinstry, safety Justin Reid, defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd, linebacker Pete Werner and defensive end Chase Young.

Players who missed the game because of injury: defensive back Terrell Burgess, defensive end Jasheen Davis, defensive back J.T. Gray, tight end Taysom Hill, tight end Foster Moreau, running back Devin Neal, Penning, and cornerback Alontae Taylor.

The Saints will get the ball to start the second half.
