Saints’ Taysom Hill take first-team reps in midfield, signaling potential change, according to reports

NS New Orleans Saints seems to be signaling that a change in midfield position is imminent. Based on NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Taysom Hill are joining first team representatives in practice this week leading up to New Orleans’ Week 13 game against Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. Compatriot midfielder Trevor Siemian – who started the last four games – is now taking the second team’s rep.

This suggests that the Saints are giving Hill every chance to be the team’s starter in Week 13. However, Rapoport points out that Hill is battling a foot injury and will need to stay fit through the week. to actually line up under the center. . Hill has been battling a foot injury since Week 5 and has caused him to miss two games. He had been active for New Orleans for the previous two weeks but had not played a bit at this point.

In the great loss of the previous saints Receipt on Thanksgiving, there were exhortations for the Saints to deploy Hill, but Sean Payton noted after the game that he not an option to play in midfield because of the injured leg. However, now that Hill has an extra week to rest, it looks like the club will give him an inside track to start.

If Hill gets the nod, Siemian will almost certainly play the QB2 role with the rookie Book of Ian as the third string option.
