Taysom Hill's unfortunate injury could affect the Saints beyond this year.

By John Hendrix - Saints News Network | SI

If you didn't see, Taysom Hill is feared to have a season-ending knee injury after picking up a key 4th Down conversion in the final quarter against the Rams. It's unfortunate for the team's Swiss Army Knife, who likely faces a long recovery ahead. His loss impacts the Saints in a big way, maybe more than just this season.

Locked On Saints Host and Louisiana Sports' Saints Beat Writer Ross Jackson and I talked about what the future holds for Taysom Hill, how it affects the New Orleans offense, his legacy and much more on our Second And Saints show from Sunday night. You can watch an excerpt below.

Hill's role for next year might be a little uncertain, as the new head coach of the Saints is to be determined. Depending on who New Orleans hires, the future of Klint Kubiak and his offensive staff is unclear. In turn, where does a Taysom Hill fit in? Does Hill want to keep playing? He'll turn 35 in August. Hill fills a variety of roles, from running back to fullback to tight end to quarterback to personal protector on the punt team to a kick returner. He's not easily replaced and is simply one of one. It's a major blow for New Orleans in more ways than one, and there's not one player who can fill his uniqueness.

From a contract perspective, Hill is going into his final year with the team and will count for $17.98 million (6.5%) against the salary cap. He has two void years in 2026 and 2027, so the Saints are going to have to make a decision there as well. ...

4 Takeaways: Rams end Taysom Hill's season, and most likely the Saints too

NEW ORLEANS — When the season is over, I think we'll look back at this game as the one that ultimately knocked the Saints out of playoff contention.

The fact is, they were extreme long shots when Darren Rizzi took over as interim coach following the mid-season firing of Dennis Allen.

Expecting perfection, which is just about what it would have taken, was certainly asking too much.

But Sunday in the Superdome, the Saints were beaten by an average team.

And it's the game that ended Taysom Jill's season.

I certainly hope he hasn't played his last game in black and gold. Depending on how...

Taysom Hill faces a challenging road to recovery after his ACL injury. Here's a breakdown of what his rehab might look like.

NEW ORLEANS — What kind of rehab is Taysom Hill facing with his ACL injury, and how long could he be sidelined?

Sunday was emotional. Derek Carr was heartbroken when Taysom Hill went down in the Rams game. He watched the guys in the huddle want to get the win for Number 7 and the fans, too.

“I love how our fans treated him, and I would expect nothing less from our fans. You know, when one of our guys goes down, they've been great,” said Saints quarterback Derek Carr.

By Monday, there was a clear MRI picture showing a torn ACL.

“Looks like it's going to be season-ending for him...

Predicting every game left on the Saints' schedule: How many more wins for NOLA?

We may need to reset expectations for the New Orleans Saints after their humbling loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Interim head coach Darren Rizzi lost some of his luster in his first defeat, but the team lost a lot more with Taysom Hill’s season-ending knee injury. Other players are expected back in the lineup soon, most importantly starting center Erik McCoy and young weapons like running back Kendre Miller and wide receiver Bub Means — but it may be too little, too late to salvage their 2024 campaign.

So how do you see the rest of the season playing out now that the Saints are 4-8? Here’s what we predict for the final five games for the New Orleans Saints:

Kendre Miller to be 'all gas, no brakes' after return from injury

  • Replies: 0

Kendre Miller’s New Orleans Saints career hasn’t really been able to get off the ground due to injuries. Injuries have limited the former third-round draft pick to just 10 games in two seasons.

The frustrating part about Miller is you see why the Saints selected him when he plays. He only played in two games and carried the ball nine times this year, but he looked like a great complement to Alvin Kamara.

And Miller may have the chance to truly showcase this upon his return now that Darren Rizzi is the coach. Dennis Allen was publicly critical enough to assume he and Miller had a bad...

The Atlanta Falcons dropped a game to the Los Angeles Chargers, as Kirk Cousins threw four interceptions. One of those interceptions was returned for a touchdown. Outside of Atlanta, all other NFC South teams were playing in the evening slot of Sunday’s action.

The loss at the top of the division had everyone licking their chops for an opportunity to close the gap on first place. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers stood in each other’s way. The New Orleans Saints didn’t have a divisional game but took on a tough challenge of their own.

When it was all said and done, the Buccaneers were the only team in the division to walk away from Week 13 with a victory. What does the NFC South standings look like after a rough week for the division?

Saints TE Taysom Hill suffers torn ACL, other damage in loss to Rams

The New Orleans Saints lost yet another piece of their offense to injury versus the Los Angeles Rams. Taysom Hill, who the Saints brought in on 4th-and-1 to pick up the first down, suffered a torn ACL and other damage versus the Rams on Sunday, which means he will miss the remainder of the 2024 season.

The Saints do-it-all weapon is potentially their biggest loss of the season thus far. Losing Rashid Shaheed, Eric McCoy and Chris Olave have hurt, but it’s hard to replace a guy like Taysom Hill, who does so much for your offense.

In 2024, Hill recorded 23 receptions for 183 receiving...
