Summary
15-of-21 passing against the Rams marked another sharp day for Tyler Shough, who stayed composed despite six sacks, no Chris Olave and constant personnel shuffling.
Two red-zone touchdowns went to rookie Bryce Lance, who turned 24 Thursday and strengthened his case for the No. 3 receiver role with Jordyn Tyson set to miss two months.
Zach Wilson replaced Spencer Rattler as the first quarterback behind Shough in team periods, signaling the Saints may be reconsidering their backup order for Saturday's preseason game.
Five of the six sacks came with the starters on the field, but New Orleans said the line showed progress from last year's Rams sessions and opened running lanes for Travis Etienne, Ty Chandler and Kendre Miller.
Thursday's workout also stayed fight-free after the Saints and Cowboys were each fined $500,000 for multiple skirmishes earlier this week.
