Taysom Hill Will Play Against Falcons
3 years agoThe New Orleans Saints named quarterback Trevor Siemian as their starter for the Week 9 contest against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, but head coach Sean Payton said that Taysom Hill (concussion) will also play in the game. Hill missed the team's last two games but has cleared the concussion protocol and will be active this weekend after Jameis Winston (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 8 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hill had three rushing touchdowns while Winston was the starter, so he's likely to be used mainly in the red zone and near the goal line. Despite Siemian starting this week, Hill is still a good stash based on the fact that there's a good chance that he'll eventually take over for Siemian sooner than later.
