Jake Haener suffers oblique strain, likely out until training camp
There has been a development in New Orleans' quarterback competition.
Jake Haener is likely to be sidelined for the rest of the offseason program by an oblique strain, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Part of the three-way competition that also includes Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough, Haener suffered the injury after Wednesday's OTA practice while throwing extra passes. An MRI revealed that Haener had a strain but did not suffer a tear, which means he does not need surgery.
He is expected to miss a couple of weeks, but should be ready for the start of training camp.
A fourth-round pick in the 2023 draft, Haener appeared in eight games with one start last season. He completed 18-of-39 passes for 226 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Stephen A. Smith Predicts Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Join Same NBA Team
Stephen A. Smith Predicts Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Join Same NBA Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Besides the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers, who are still focused on raising a championship banner, the rest of the league has its eyes set on improving its rosters next year. Some names that have been floated as potentially being on the move include Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant. Advertisement The Greek Freak just posted his third straight campaign averaging over 30 points, tagged along with 11.9 rebounds and a career high 6.5 assists per game. Despite everything he's given the organization, there is speculation that the two-time MVP wants out of Milwaukee due to the team's consistent lack of postseason success. The Bucks have failed to make it out of the first round in each of their last three playoff appearances. The Phoenix Suns' power forward is coming off season averages of 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game across 62 appearances. The Suns actively shopped Durant at this year's trade deadline and ultimately failed to reach a deal. They were then eliminated from playoff contention before the end of the regular season.

Smith revealed his top five trade destinations for both Antetokounmpo and Durant. Advertisement He named the New York Knicks as the number one option for both forwards, suggesting the two could join forces at Madison Square Garden soon. "The New York Knicks. The market. The Mecca. Madison Square Garden. Center Stage," declared Smith, a vocal Knicks fan. "Jalen Brunson in the house. Keep Anunoby if you can. You can let Bridges go. Hell, if you had to lose Karl-Anthony Towns for him (Antetokounmpo). Yes. Yes." Then Smith went on to discuss Durant. "Now him, that might be because he's 30 going 36 years of age. You understand what I'm saying?" Smith added. "I don't know, but I'm very certain about that. Either way you slice it, KD, [expletive] it, your [expletive] should have been in New York to begin with! You should have never went to Brooklyn." The Knicks appear to be in clear "win-now" mode following the dismissal of five-year head coach Tom Thibodeau, despite the franchise reaching its first Conference Finals in 25 years.
