Report: Taysom Hill to Start at QB for Saints vs. Falcons over Jameis Winston

Butch Dill/Associated Press

In a surprising move, Taysom Hill will reportedly make his first career NFL start at quarterback Sunday for the New Orleans Saints at home against the Atlanta Falcons over Jameis Winston.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Hill took all the starter reps at practice this week, meaning he should be under center.

Veteran starter Drew Brees is out this week after suffering multiple fractured ribs over the past two weeks and a collapsed lung last week against the San Francisco 49ers. Brees could miss multiple games, meaning Hill may be in line for more than one start.
