Kellen Moore confirms Saints' starters will sit final preseason game

New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore stated that many first-team players will not participate in the final preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Friday. He explained the decision follows 145 snaps in three joint practices, which he believes provided sufficient preparation. This decision differs from some coaches who prefer to use the final preseason matchup as a rehearsal for their starting units. Moore's choice may face scrutiny if the team struggles early in the regular season, particularly with back-to-back road games against the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens in Weeks 1 and 2.
