First-round pick offensive lineman Andrus Peat received his first taste as a starter for the New Orleans Saints during the team's 24-6 loss at Houston.

The 13th overall pick from 2015 shifted to left guard away from tackle, which is where the Saints had envisioned him originally, playing all 58 snaps against the Texans.

Peat replaced Tim Lelito in the starting lineup. Lelito only saw two special teams snaps in Sunday's loss at Houston. Peat also jumped Senio Kelemete, who played one offensive snap and two special teams snaps.
