There is some uncertainty regarding the New Orleans Saints quarterback situation.
As they prepare for their Week 4 game against the Minnesota Vikings in London, England, NFL Network’s Stacey Dales tweeted that there was no sign of quarterback Jameis Winston during the open portion of yesterday’s practice.
The situation hasn’t changed, as Dales gave an update today.
Surprisingly, no Jameis Winston at the open portion of #Saints practice. The expectation per both he & HC Dennis Allen was that he would be practicing today. Andy Dalton once again 1st team reps. Taysom Hill 2nd team reps. Jarvis Landry was practicing, Michael Thomas was not.

She tweeted, “Surprisingly, no Jameis Winston at the open portion of #Saints practice. The expectation per both he & HC Dennis Allen was that he would be practicing today. Andy Dalton once again 1st team reps. Taysom Hill 2nd team reps. Jarvis Landry was practicing, Michael Thomas was not.”
Just like yesterday, Dalton is practicing with the starters while Hill is taking snaps with the reserves.
On Saturday, this scenario could likely be their setup against Minnesota at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, it is also possible that the Saints are being cautious with Winston because he was listed as questionable in Week 3 due to back and ankle injuries.
Despite his injury, he threw for 353 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in their loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Winston’s physical condition may cause some changes to the Saints depth chart, with Dalton possibly taking over as starter.
Mixed Results For The Saints
While Winston wasn’t available during the open portion, it’s a relief for Saints fans to see Jarvis Landry practicing.
However, Michael Thomas is also questionable because he was nowhere to be seen like Winston.
Dales also continued that offensive guard Andrus Peat joined in the practice while safety Marcus Maye was doing some drills on a nearby field.
Injuries have thwarted New Orleans’ promising 2022 campaign as they have won just one of their first three games.
