What happened: Former New Orleans Saints tackle Terron Armstead revealed he considered coming out of retirement to block for quarterback Tyler Shough. Armstead made the admission during an appearance on CBS, noting he had never previously thought about a return. The comments followed a meeting between the veteran and the current Saints signal-caller.

Why it matters: The public endorsement highlights the growing confidence in Tyler Shough from prominent franchise alumni. Shough, now in his second NFL season, recently earned a team captaincy role and has established his leadership in the locker room. Armstead’s high praise serves as notable validation for the young quarterback.

What to watch: Shough and the Saints continue their regular-season schedule looking to capitalize on his continued development.
