Report: Jameis Winston Has Four Fractures in His Back Saints’ Jameis Winston is playing with a lot of pain, after it’s been revealed that he has four fractures in his back.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Playing through back fractures Winston, who is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, will be playing despite having been diagnosed with four fractures in his back, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Though Winston was limited in practices throughout the week and was listed as questionable heading into Sunday, he'll be able to tough it out and play through the issue by donning some extra padding on his back. The injury may be something that lingers for a few more weeks and gradually improves as the season goes along, but Winston should be available on game days so long as he can tolerate the pain.

Available Sunday Winston (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Winston will gut out the back issue that capped his practice reps throughout Week 2 prep. While he's suiting up, his top running back Alvin Kamara won't be, leaving the backfield to the likes of Mark Ingram (ankle) and Dwayne Washington (hamstring). The Saints thus may roll with a more pass-heavy game plan, especially with Tom Brady and company on the other side. In the season opener in Atlanta last Sunday, Winston completed 23 of 34 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns.

Expected to play Sunday Winston (back) remains questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune also said Friday that Winston would likely be able to play, so it appears the 2015 first-round pick will be suiting up Sunday against his former team despite being limited at practices throughout the week. New Orleans' running back situation likely won't be decided until closer to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but Alvin Kamara, who was a non-participant Thursday and Friday, appears to be in the most in danger of missing Sunday's game. Assuming Winston is available, he'll still have a nice crew to work with, thanks to wideouts Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave.

Listed as questionable, should play Winston (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, but he should be able to play, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Winston managed limited practices throughout the week, as did backup RB Mark Ingram (ankle). Alvin Kamara (ribs), on the other hand, was a non-participant Thursday and Friday, making him the key offensive piece most in danger of missing Sunday's game. Winston still would have a nice crew to work with, thanks to wide receivers Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave.

Another limited session Winston (back) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact A sore back was one of the residual impacts of the Saints' Week 1 win in Atlanta for Winston, who so far has logged back-to-back capped sessions this week. Still, coach Dennis Allen told Erin Summers of the team's official site Wednesday that Winston "looked pretty good," and the quarterback sustained his activity level Thursday. Winston has one more chance Friday to potentially return to a full session, after which New Orleans may give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Limited by back discomfort Winston (back) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports that Winston played through some pain in Sunday's 27-26 win over Atlanta, and coach Dennis Allen said the quarterback "looked pretty good" during Wednesday's practice, per Erin Summers of the Saints' official website. It sounds like Winston should be okay for the Week 2 matchup with Tampa Bay, though a full practice Thursday or Friday would erase any concerns.
