The New Orleans Saints have released their unofficial depth chart for Week 1. They'll play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at noon (CT).
There aren't many surprises on it, but a few position battles have been decided – it seems. Check out the entire depth chart below, via John Hendrix.
At the forefront, Foster Moreau has grabbed the TE2 spot, while Jimmy Graham is TE3. Juwan Johnson is the proven starter. This shift is heavily impacted by their Taysom Hill move. They list him back at quarterback, so the tight end room shifted on the depth chart.
Andrus Peat and James Hurst remain land-locked for the starting left guard position. The rest of the offense is set as expected.
On defense, Carl Granderson gets the starting edge role opposite Cameron Jordan. He gets the spot ahead of Payton Turner, who impressed consistently in the preseason. Expect Turner to get increased playing time, regardless.
Bryan Bresee is listed behind veteran Nathan Shepherd at DT, but he will get plenty of snaps. Third-down will be important for the rookie.
The starting linebackers and secondary are as expected. The stars have their roles cemented, while the depth was predictable. Zack Baun ahead of D'Marco Jackson may be notable, though.
This depth chart remains fluid over this week before game day. Keep that in mind.
