SALT LAKE CITY — New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton seems to consistently have something positive to say about reserve quarterback/do-it-all playmaker Taysom Hill.

On Tuesday during a segment on ESPN’s “Get Up!” Payton talked about Hill’s role for the Saints in the upcoming season. During the tail end of answering a question posed by host Mike Greenberg, the coach also hinted that Hill’s chance to compete for a starting QB position may come sooner than originally imagined for a franchise that has seen All-Pro quarterback Drew Brees leading the Saints since 2006.

“First and foremost, we still view him as a quarterback. We spent a lot of time this offseason discussing our vision for him this season,” Payton said of Hill, while mentioning that the former BYU quarterback is the third or fourth fastest player on the New Orleans roster and will resume his role at various offensive positions and on special teams.

The New Orleans Saints hope to keep their playoff chances alive against the Los Angeles Rams. After their bye, the Saints are looking the healthiest they have all season, listing just six players on Wednesday’s injury report. While the Saints are getting back to healthy, the offensive line remains a concern as center Erik McCoy and guard Lucas Patrick missed practice with injuries. New Orleans opened the 21-day return window for defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon who tore his Achilles during the offseason.

Surpassing the 'interim bump' must be a focus for Darren Rizzi

When a team makes a change at head coach, that can sometimes lead to a jolt around the team. Renewed energy can make you feel like you’re watching a completely different team. That energy a lot of times, but not all the time, is temporary.

The New Orleans Saints moved on from Dennis Allen in the middle of the season and appointed Darren Rizzi the interim head coach. Since then, the Saints have won their last two contests.

The temporary nature of these jolts isn’t lost on Rizzi, and it’s his responsibility to ensure the momentum wasn’t temporary. He labels keeping energy steady a point of...

Week 13 Saints-Rams injury report keeps getting shorter

The changes interim head coach Darren Rizzi made to the New Orleans Saints practice routine are working. Just six players were listed on the initial Week 13 injury report ahead of their upcoming game with the Los Angeles Rams, making it one of the shortest injury reports (if not the shortest) we’ve seen in years.

Two of them didn’t practice on Wednesday, but they’re both starting offensive linemen. Rizzi had indicated the team would take things slowly with Erik McCoy (groin) after his recent return from injured reserve, but left guard Lucas Patrick (calf) didn’t get on the field, either...

Saints would be thankful to get this Michigan standout in the 2025 NFL draft

It’s no secret that the New Orleans Saints defensive line isn’t what it used to be. They’re giving up 5.0 yards per rushing attempt this season, second-worst in the NFL. Second-year pro Bryan Bresee has made some strides as a pass rusher but he hasn’t quite developed into the three-down asset the Saints hoped for, at least not yet. He could use some more help in the middle of the line.

That’s why Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy linked the Saints to Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham in his latest projection. He’s a finalist for the exclusive Outland Trophy, the national award for college...

Chris Olave 'in a good place' after second concussion in 2024

Has Chris Olave already caught his last pass with the New Orleans Saints this season? It’s certainly possible. The standout wide receiver suffered two concussions in his first eight games and was put on injured reserve, and there’s currently no timetable for him to return to the field. At least not in pads and a helmet. Olave was spotted at the Saints practice facility this week spectating and dapping up teammates, but he’s not ready to run routes and take on contact.

Interim head coach Darren Rizzi shared an update on Olave’s status after practice on Tuesday.

The New Orleans Saints moved up one spot in the NFL draft order after Week 12, and they didn’t even have to lose a game to get it done.

There was a point where New Orleans had a top-five selection. A coaching change and 2 wins in a row later and New Orleans was the last team in the top-ten. After Week 12’s action, the Saints moved from the tenth pick to the ninth.

Ironically, it was a Dallas Cowboys victory that helped them out. When the Cowboys surprisingly defeated the Washington Commanders, it created a complete logjam with several competing teams at 4-7. The Saints may have beaten...
