After Jameis Winston injury news, here are three Saints quarterback options
The New Orleans Saints were able to pull off a huge home win against the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
Unfortunately for them, it came at a rather major cost. Starting quarterback Jameis Winston exited the game with a knee injury early in the second quarter and didn’t return.
After the game, Saints head coach Sean Payton told reporters that the injury was significant and potentially season-ending. Talk about a downer in New Orleans after a strong performance on the field.
With Taysom Hill sidelined by a concussion, veteran journeyman Trevor Siemian replaced Winston under center. He played pretty well, completing 16-of-29 passes for 159 yards with a touchdown and zero interceptions. In no way does this mean Siemian is even a stopgap option for the 5-2 Saints.
Meanwhile, rookie mid-round pick Ian Book is not anywhere near ready to see regular-season action. With this in mind, we look at three quarterback options for the Saints heading into Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.
