NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Saints QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today. Winston is reportedly dealing with 4 fractures in his back -- plus the ankle injury -- but looked fine in last week's loss to the Bucs. He remains a volatile QB2 play in fantasy football.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. We learned prior to last weekend's game Winston has 4 fractures in his back -- and now he's evidently dealing with an ankle issue, too. It sounds like Winston will play on Sunday, but these injuries obviously add risk.
Saints QB Jameis Winston is playing today with 4 fractures in his back, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports. "Playing in a lot of pain with extra padding to protect the area," Glazer adds. This obviously adds risk to Winston's fantasy profile. We'll see how he holds up vs. the Bucs today.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Bucs. We’re not expecting the back to be an issue today. This should be a pass-heavy gameplan from New Orleans, but RB Alvin Kamara’s absence strips Winston of 1 of his top weapons.
Saints RB Jameis Winston (back) is expected to play vs. the Bucs today, according to both ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Winston was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but we never sensed any concern about his status. We're not expecting the back to be an issue.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (back) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Bucs. We haven't heard any concern about his status, but you'll need to check back Sunday morning to make sure he's active if you're hoping to use him in a fantasy lineup.
Saints QB Jameis Winston made his 2022 preseason debut on Friday night and looked sharp. He went 4-of-4 for 59 yards on a 9-play, 75-yard TD drive. Winston connected with WR Jarvis Landry for 20- and 15-yard gains and found WR Chris Olave for 19 yards. That foot injury that cost Winston a couple of weeks earlier this month looks like a non-issue. Consider Winston a QB2 to start the season -- but there's certainly spot-start QB1 potential with this revamped WR corps.
Saints HC Dennis Allen conceded that QB Jameis Winston was "a little rusty" in his return Monday after losing 13 practices to a foot sprain, according to ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Allen said he hadn't decided yet whether to play Winston in the final preseason game Friday against the Chargers. But he added that he'd be "comfortable" with Winston entering the season without that game action. Winston, of course, hasn't played in a game since October's ACL tear. Don't be shocked if he -- and the Saints passing game -- start a little slowly/inconsistently in the regular season.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (foot) returned to practice on Sunday. He ended up missing 13 days and New Orleans' first 2 preseason games. We'll see if he plays in the 3rd, but Winston should be ready for the regular-season opener.
Saints HC Dennis Allen said Tuesday that QB Jameis Winston is "day to day" after spraining his right foot Monday, according to ESPN's Mike Triplett. The team reportedly doesn't believe it's anything significant but will keep Winston out of the preseason opener. We'll keep an eye on the situation but are not adjusting Winston's fantasy outlook.
Saints QB Jameis Winston injured his foot in Monday's practice. No word on the severity yet, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Winston is "undergoing further evaluation." We'll update his status when we know more.
Saints HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday that QB Jameis Winston's surgically repaired knee is no longer a concern. "I think we're past the point where we're trying have a maintenance plan on the knee," Allen said. "I think we're in a good spot there. I think it's really just about continuing to get better at the quarterback position." Winston will be under center for the Saints come Week 1, although it remains to be seen if his movement in and out of the pocket will be back to pre-injury levels.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (knee) will participate in team drills as training camp kicks off, HC Dennis Allen said Tuesday. "We feel good about where he's at physically," GM Mickey Loomis added. "We're going to proceed with caution with him, but he's going to be out there practicing." Winston continues to be on track to be ready for the season opener.
It's "all positive" for Saints QB Jameis Winston heading to training camp off last October's torn ACL, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "In the pocket, he should look like Jameis Winston of old," Rapoport adds. "Now maybe early on, bootlegs might look a little different. Maybe a little slower than we're used to as he settles in. But the expectation is that full health is coming." We'll keep an eye on further reports on Winston's health in training camp -- and see if he gets any live reps in preseason games.
Saints QB Jameis Winston has yet to be cleared for 11-on-11 workouts, according to the team website. Winston has been seen on the field in OTAs but is awaiting that final clearance to practice in full. We'd expect it to come at least by some early point in training camp but will keep an eye on the situation. Andy Dalton has run the starting offense in Winston's absence this week.
Saints QB Jameis Winston was on the field with his team at OTAs this week. Katherine Terrell of The Athletic noted that he wore a "bulky" brace and sported a limp that "seemed more prominent when walking versus running." Neither of those things should be surprising for a player coming off an ACL repair, and it's obviously good that Winston was even taking part in the voluntary workouts. The QB said, though, that overcoming the ACL tear hasn't been the biggest challenge in this process. “The biggest thing about my specific injury was the meniscus,” he said. “It wasn’t the ACL and MCL. The MCL actually healed on its own before surgery and the ACL, Dr. Neal ElAttrache did a phenomenal job. … It was a pretty simple procedure. But the meniscus repair has been the biggest limiter for me right now, in terms of moving, rolling out, in terms of certain movements that I’m not able to do just because of the timetable of the recovery. But my ACL is very stable, my MCL is very stable. Right now I’m building around and fighting with the meniscus.” Again, the fact that Winston is on the field at all this early keeps us from worrying too much. But his progression through summer will certainly be worth tracking.
Per NFL insider Albert Breer, Saints QB Jameis Winston is nearing full clearance from his October ACL tear. Winston will meet with surgeon Neal S. ElAttrache around the end of next month. “End of June is when I’ll be fully cleared,” Winston announced. “Camp, I’ll be full go.” With Michael Thomas, Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry as top targets, Winston could supply some spot-start value this fall.
Saints QB Jameis Winston was a limited participant in OTAs this week, according to The Athletic's Katherine Terrell. Winston took part in individual drills, 7-on-7s and some 11-on-11s but was sporting a "bulky" brace and had a noticeable limp, per Terrell. Winston just resumed running earlier this month after last October's season-ending left knee injury. “The biggest thing about my specific injury was the meniscus,” Winston told reporters. “It wasn’t the ACL and MCL. The MCL actually healed on its own before surgery and the ACL, Dr. Neal ElAttrache did a phenomenal job. … It was a pretty simple procedure. But the meniscus repair has been the biggest limiter for me right now, in terms of moving, rolling out, in terms of certain movements that I’m not able to do just because of the timetable of the recovery. But my ACL is very stable, my MCL is very stable. Right now I’m building around and fighting with the meniscus.” The fact that Winston was on the field at all in May is a positive sign. We're expecting him to be under center for the Saints come Week 1.
New Saints HC Dennis Allen confirmed that QB Jameis Winston is on track to start Week 1. Recall that Winston suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 of last season. "Well, certainly that's certainly the plan," Allen said. "There's a lot of days between now and Week 1, but we certainly like where he's at right now. We like the progress that he's making. Man, I really loved a lot of the things that he did last year for us -- 14 touchdowns, three interceptions. There was just some really good stuff that you see. And my vision and my hope is that he continues to progress on the same level as he gets another year in the system." New Orleans passed on adding a QB in the draft. Instead, they bolstered the offense with WR Chris Olave and OT Trevor Penning. Winston, for now, profiles as a clear QB2 with spot-start potential.
