Concerns continue to mount for Saints' offense as Jameis Winston battles injuries

New Orleans' offense has played only one good quarter out of eight so far this season.

www.espn.com

"According to ESPN Stats & Information, Winston was 2 of 11 on passes that went at least 15 yards through the air, compared to 8-of-11 the week before. He did not complete his first such pass until the 5:17 mark of the fourth quarter."

He strayed away from the offense, almost like the Bucs game was a personal revenge game and he wanted to stick it to them so bad he went rogue.

He also has 4 broken bones in his back. Not great.

That the worst I've seen him. He was just off but surprisingly his completion percentage was better than Brady's. 62% to 52%.

Hey guys I found an article...and instead of summarizing to the totality of the article, I'm going to highlight the one piece of information that I like.

I'm finding that hard to believe. A guy showed me that at the game. There's no way we'd play him if had 4 fractures in his back. Heck, we didn't even let Kamara play with his rib injury.

We have Dalton now, so if Winston had fractures in his back we wouldn't jeopardize his career like that.

Dr. David Chao was on Sports Talk the other night. He said there are two types of fractures. Ones that nobody would let a player play with...and ones that Cam Newton and Derek Carr have played with. Transverse fractures. It did surprise him that Jameis played last week because he said normally you will miss one game. He said its very difficult to shoot someone up for those fractures so Jameis was likely in a lot of pain. But he said he should be feeling much better this week.

It's been discussed that the injury is most likely transverse process fractures, the bony projections to the sides of the vertebrae. There is no increased risk of serious injury, per the team, and is about pain management and tolerance.

It's a transverse fracture it is the wing like bones on the vertebre that are fractured. It is a pain management issue but I would imagine rest to to let them heal would be the best. I didn't believe it at first either it sounded ridiculous. I would think though that one good shot and bad things can happen when his back is already in a weakened state.The docs say it's safe. I just hope if it is hampering his performance he will put the team first.

It’s almost like he was injured and playing against a top 3 defense.

Reading that stat brought that fact home for me.

He needs to sit his butt and heal.
