That could give Shough some opportunities to attack a secondary that isn't at full strength. However, if Tyler Shough proves capable of making the big throws in a hostile environment, New Orleans could quickly make it clear that this is a very different team from the one that finished 6-11 last season.

Shough faces tough Week 1 road test at Detroit; secondary injuries could create opportunities.

Saints QB Tyler Shough will face Detroit's defense in a hostile environment at Ford Field in Week 1; the source notes that if Shough proves capable of making big throws in this difficult setting, it could signal that New Orleans is a very different team from last year's 6-11 squad. Detroit will be without key defensive backs Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph (out at least four games) and has uncertainty around Christian Izien, Derrick Moore, and Mekhi Wingo, which could give Shough opportunities to attack a secondary not at full strength.
