In New Orleans, there has been some development at the quarterback position:
Jake Haener is likely to be sidelined for the rest of the offseason program by an oblique strain, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Part of the three-way competition that also includes Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough, Haener suffered the injury after Wednesday’s OTA practice while throwing extra passes. An MRI revealed that Haener had a strain but did not suffer a tear, which means he does not need surgery.
He is expected to miss a couple of weeks, but should be ready for the start of training camp.
