Seattle – While confirming that starting quarterback Drew Brees would have surgery Wednesday, Sept. 18 to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb, New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton said the offensive plan for Sunday’s game against Seattle will include both remaining quarterbacks, Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill.
Payton acknowledged that the heightened need for Hill at quarterback likely will affect his other roles on special teams and as a tight end, but that because he entered the first two games as the third quarterback doesn’t automatically mean he’ll be No. 2 against the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.
“I think you do (have to monitor what Hill does in his other roles), and that’s you making the assumption he’s the No. 2,” he said. “We’ll approach this game with two quarterbacks and we’ll see where we’re at with it. We’ll have the right plan relative to what those guys are going to be doing.”
