Saints coach Dennis Allen maintained that they always had a plan [to have Taysom Hill involved at QB].

While Winston's injury seemed to be the catalyst for Hill taking quarterback snaps again at practice, keep in mind Hill was also injured and missed time before Winston got hurt. As the story pointed out, if Winston returns as a starter, it would make even more sense for Hill to have a bigger role because he would not be an immediate backup at quarterback and thus not as big of an injury concern. Hill has scored the last two weeks and makes for a sneaky TE play if your league allows it.

Jameis Winston and Michael Thomas were not at the open portion of Saints practice today.

Terrell later tweet that HC Dennis Allen said the only update on Winston is that he's still rehabbing and is getting better. "We're just trying to get him healthy." Dalton played fairly well in the team's loss to the Vikings in London. Unfortunately for owners, Hill stole a touchdown late in the game. With Winston out, Hill will likely continue to see some gadget plays lining up at QB. Hill rushed five times for 21 yards in the game.

Jameis Winston isn't trending favorably to start their Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. While Andy Dalton would assuredly get the start in Winston's absence, one would think that Taysom Hill could see the field more often.

Dalton was "once again" taking his reps with the first team while Hill was with the second team. Michael Thomas was also missing from practice, so this could be a rough week for the Saints offense.

Dennis Allen anticipates Jameis Winston practicing tomorrow.

Good news for owners as reports say Winston wasn't spotted today at practice and the team was preparing Dalton and Hill. The Saints play in London on Sunday morning so this is a situation to continue to monitor if you need to play Winston.

Jameis Winston was not at practice today. Andy Dalton took first team reps at QB, with Taysom Hill receiving reps as a reserve QB. This is different than past weeks.

Winston is dealing with broken bones in his back and the offense has struggled over the first three weeks. Keep in mind the Saints will fly to London to take on the Vikings this week in what will be a Sunday morning game. As the tweet said, it looks like the Saints are preparing in case they have to make a change at quarterback. Hill is dealing with a rib injury, but if he's good to go, and with Dalton under center, he could see increased time at QB - while being listed as a TE in a lot of leagues.

Alvin Kamara was participating at practice today. Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston were present but didn't appear to be participating much in the open portion of practice.

Reports said Kamara was close to playing in Week 2, so this is at least a positive sign Kamara is on the right track toward a return for Week 3. We should know more later in the week and the Saints have an early Sunday game at Carolina.

Dennis Allen on Taysom Hill: "He's going to provide multiple roles for us."

The tweet added that Allen said Hill will, "still take some snaps from the quarterback position." So it looks like Hill could be up to his old tricks, much like when Drew Brees was the QB. Underhill did say Hill's primary position will be TE. Hill's potential at TE is yet to be determined, but any production could get a boost depending on how much time he'll see at QB.

Saints HC Dennis Allen told reporters that the plan for Taysom Hill is to play him at tight end.

The re-signing of Jameis Winston was the apparent death blow to Hil's time at quarterback. With Sean Payton no longer in New Orleans, the fetishism of Hill under center appears to be over.

QB Jameis Winston is staying with New Orleans, agreeing to a two-year deal with the Saints.

Hill had to have foot surgery and will now have competition with Winston once again. Winston was more of a game manager with the Saints in 2021, but that could change with Sean Payton no longer coaching.

Saints QB Taysom Hill will undergo Lisfranc surgery and will need a second surgery to remove the hardware needed to complete the first surgery, according to Saints HC Sean Payton. There is no recovery timetable at this moment.

This is a major surgery for Hill, especially considering how important his running prowess is to his overall game. Best wishes in recovery.
