Oh, and the Saints are still waiting to get head coach Sean Payton back in the fold after the head coach went on the COVID list late in the week before a showdown with the Bucs.

Book would be the first rookie quarterback to start a game for the Saints since Danny Wuerffel in 1997. The good news? The Saints are in excellent position to push for a playoff berth. Check out this week's Fall Football preview in the player atop this page, sponsored by the Louisiana Office of Tourism, with WWL Digital Sports Producer Jeff Nowak for the breakdown of the Ian Book news, the Saints' playoff chances and all the action coming live to WWL AM-870; FM-105.3 this week.
