The Story in 60 Seconds

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough is dealing with an injury to his left hand, which writer Darrion Gray argues could pose significant problems moving forward. Shough initially injured the hand against the Atlanta Falcons and wore a glove during his subsequent game, later declining to confirm whether the hand was broken when questioned by reporters.

Gray argues that Shough's compromised grip was evident in how he exclusively handed off with his right hand. The writer warns that while the injury has not derailed the Saints' offense yet, Shough faces increased ball-security risks and could be prone to fumbles when absorbing hits in future games.
