Saints quarterback Tyler Shough is playing with two broken bones in his left hand, according to ESPN.

Saints quarterback Tyler Shough is playing through two broken bones in his left hand, according to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, citing confidential sources. The bones will 'take weeks to heal', Schefter reported.

Shough injured his non-throwing left hand on 5 October in a Monday Night Football game against Atlanta when he struck it on a Falcons player's helmet. In last Sunday's game against Minnesota, he wore a padded glove on his left hand and adjusted his technique, maneuvering to give handoffs with his right hand instead.

The Saints have not disclosed the reported hand injury on their league-mandated weekly injury reports. According to the team, Shough has not been limited or absent from any practices. He is scheduled to play his third consecutive game on Sunday, 18 October.
