The New Orleans Saints’ defense now knows who they will face at quarterback in their upcoming week 15 game against the New York Jets. Fox Sports has reported the team has placed starter Josh McCown on injured reserve. Bryce Petty will get the nod in his place.
Petty was drafted out of Baylor by the Jets in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL draft. Ironically, the Saints and Petty were linked in the weeks prior to the draft with many analysts believing New Orleans would make him a mid-round choice. Instead the Saints drafted Colorado’s Garrett Grayson, who spent two seasons with the team before being released, in the third round.
