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. ...

Bryan Bresee on track to lead the NFL's defensive tackles in sacks

Sacks aren’t everything for a defensive tackle, but there’s a lot to be said for leading the league in them. And Bryan Bresee is on track to do just that. The New Orleans Saints’ second-year pro is up to 6.5 sacks through 12 games, a big improvement over his rookie numbers (4.5 in 17 games). That ranks second-most in his position group.

So who’s on top? That would be New York Giants star Dexter Lawrence, with 9.0 sacks in 12 games for himself. But Lawrence’s season has ended on injured reserve after he suffered a dislocated elbow. He isn’t expected back in 2024, which sets a clear goal...

The NFC South stands alone in the worst way possible

The Atlanta Falcons’ loss to the Los Angeles Chargers extends their losing streak to three games. This now gives every member of the NFC South a three-game losing streak at some point in the season. The division is a mess from top to bottom — just check the latest standings.

No other division has achieved this in 2024. Matter of fact, there are five divisions with at least one team that has no more than three losses. The NFC North has three of them.

Until this week, the New Orleans Saints had owned the longest losing streak of the season. The Las Vegas Raiders took the mantle with their...

Who was the Saints’ breakout player vs. the Rams?

The New Orleans Saints were outed by the Los Angeles Rams 21-14 on Sunday afternoon, as their two-game win streak to open Darren Rizzi’s tenure as interim head coach came to an unfortunate end.

This week’s breakout player stepped up for New Orleans while still severely short-handed at receiver. He’s taken advantage of his opportunity the past couple of weeks and is making a strong case for a roster spot for the remainder of this season and potentially next season as well. The breakout player from the Saints’ Week 13 loss to the Rams is WR Kevin Austin Jr.

Austin posted a 72.7 overall...

Surprising Saints rookie leads his position group in NFC Pro Bowl votes

With the start of the 2025 Pro Bowl voting starting officially just week ago, we have received our first update on the current leaders of each position group in the league. You can cast your vote here.

As the New Orleans Saints have fallen apart with many injuries sustained over the course of the year, it was highly unlikely that they’d have any Pro Bowl players let alone a top vote-getter.

Turns out, that just might not be the case. Undrafted rookie punter Matthew Hayball currently leads the NFC in Pro Bowl votes at his position. Quite a pleasant surprise, isn’t it?

New Orleans Saints still don't know which QB they are facing vs. Giants

The New Orleans Saints are still awaiting the New York Giants decision on which quarterback they will be playing during their Week 14 matchup.

It felt like a longtime coming, but the Giants finally moved on from Daniel Jones a couple of weeks ago. Since then, both Drew Lock and Tommy Devito got their chances to start games. The results were eerily similar as New York also lost both games. Lock mostly got the start due to DeVito dealing with a forearm injury. Neither quarterback should scare this Saints defense, but knowing who they are facing would certainly help a game plan.

If DeVito...

Coming off their bye week, the New Orleans Saints weren’t able to capitalize on their recent two-game win streak, suffering their first loss under interim head coach Darren Rizzi after falling to the Los Angeles Rams 21-14 on Sunday in the Superdome.

New Orleans came out fighting, and with the Atlanta Falcons collapsing to the Los Angeles Chargers at home and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers heading to overtime with the Carolina Panthers, the NFC South appeared to be wide open during a season that seemed long lost for the Saints. However, a combination of injuries and poor execution wiped out a...

The New Orleans Saints got expected bad news on Monday as Taysom Hill will miss the remainder of the 2024 season with a torn ACL among other damage in his knee.

In a game where it felt like the Black and Gold were truly one play away from winning, they couldn’t find that play.

From some key touchdown strikes to big plays on defense, there were some positives to take away. Lets break down either side.

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...

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...
