The New Orleans Times-Picayune’s Luke Johnson reports Saints QB Spencer Rattler got “an extended look with the first team” in Wednesday’s practice.

Rattler began the preseason as the Saints’ starter and continues to get the practice reps for it. Johnson reports that rookie Tyler Shough and Rattler rotated with the first team in Wednesday’s practice, with Rattler getting “an extended look.” Meanwhile, Jake Haener took just four third-team scrimmage snaps. Johnson believes he is the odd man out of the starting quarterback competition. The Saints’ quarterback room has taken shape with Rattler starting, Shough the backup, and Haener third. Head coach Kellen Moore could go with Rattler to start the season with Shough waiting in the wings to take over eventually.
