The New Orleans Saints are dealing with an array of health issues at quarterback and as a result rookie Ian Book will make his first career NFL start this Monday night.
The Saints are set to take on the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The 7-7 find themselves in the thick of the playoff chase in the NFC and face a virtual must-win against Miami.
Ian Book started at Notre Dame from early in the 2018 season through 2020 when he left the Irish with more wins than any other starting quarterback in program history.
Book was selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft.
