Saints confirm QB Winston will miss London game vs Vikings
The New Orleans Saints say quarterback Jameis Winston will not play in their game against the Minnesota Vikings in London because of a back injuryOCTOBER 1, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Set to serve as backup QB Jameis Winston (back/ankle/hip) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Saints in London, so Andy Dalton is expected to draw the start, leaving Hill as the backup quarterback,...
Impact Hill missed Week 3 due to a rib issue and was limited in practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Week 4. During his limited sessions, Hill was mixed in as the second-string quarterback, while Dalton handled the first-team reps. Dalton would be the primary signal-caller if Winston indeed is ruled out, but the versatile Hill, along with his usual special-teams duties and occasional snaps at tight end, may have a few designed plays at quarterback as well.

Limited once again in practice Hill (rib) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Impact For the second day in a row, Hill had his reps capped in practice and worked as the second-string quarterback while Andy Dalton directed the first-team offense in the absence of Jameis Winston (back/ankle/hip), according to Jeff Duncan of The Athletic. Even if Winston's injuries prevent him from playing Sunday in London against the Vikings, Dalton would be in store for the majority of reps under center, though Hill could see some snaps on designed runs. The versatile Hill would also be available to contribute on special teams and serve as a depth option at tight end.

Limited in practice Hill (ribs) was limited in Wednesday's practice, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Hill's rib injury prevented him from suiting up Week 3, but he was able to handle second-team reps Wednesday while starter Jameis Winston (back/ankle) sat out. If Winston has to miss time, Hill would be asked to handle the No. 2 role behind Andy Dalton, assuming he returns to health in time for Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

Sitting out Sunday Hill (ribs) is listed as inactive Sunday in Carolina.
Impact Prior to receiving a questionable designation for Week 3 on Friday, Hill was a limited participant in all three practices. As Sunday dawned, though, it was revealed he wasn't in line to play this weekend, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With Hill's status as out confirmed, his next chance to play will arrive Sunday, Oct. 2 against the Vikings.

Not expected to play Sunday Hill (ribs) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Hill's official status will be revealed prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but it looks as though the versatile playmaker is not expected to face Carolina. On a positive note for the Saints, both Jameis Winston (back/ankle) and Alvin Kamara (ribs) are expected to go Sunday.

Listed as questionable Hill (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Advocate reports.
Impact Hill was limited in all three of the Saints' practices during the week. If the versatile Hill suits up, he potentially could get a few more opportunities to throw or run the ball depending on the availability of Jameis Winston (back/ankle) and Alvin Kamara (ribs), who both are questionable as well.

Limited practice again Thursday Hill (ribs) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Impact While a rib injury is never the greatest thing for a rugged runner like Hill, the fact that he was a limited practice participant both Wednesday and Thursday sets him on a reasonably good track to play his usual off-the-bench role against Carolina on Sunday.

Tending to rib injury Hill was limited at practice Wednesday due to a rib injury.
Impact Hill has stuck to a gadget role through the first two contests of this season, hauling in his only target for two yards while taking seven carries for 95 yards and one touchdown. His snap count on offense dropped from 15 to six from Weeks 1 to 2, and he's now dealing with an injury. As a result, Hill's activity level bears watching as the weekend draws closer.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Only three touches in Week 2 Hill rushed three times for 14 yards and finished without a passing attempt or target in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact It was surprising that Hill wasn't leaned on more given the absence of running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) and Jameis Winston's struggles passing (1:3 TD:INT). While Hill''s eligibility at tight end in some formats makes him an intriguing fantasy option, it will be tough for him to produce consistently given his limited touches. Hill has seven carries, one catch on two targets and no passing attempts on the season heading into a Week 3 road game against the Panthers.

Tallies first preseason catch Hill recorded one reception on two targets for 10 yards in Friday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Packers.
Impact Hill managed to make his preseason debut Friday after dealing with a series of injuries this offseason, starting with surgery to repair a Lisfranc issue. He subsequently bruised his ribs at the start of training camp and was sidelined for several days. He didn't make a significant impact on the game Friday, but he was on the field with the offensive unit that began the game and should compete for reps with Adam Trautman to begin the season.
