Named starting QB for Thursday Hill is slated to be the Saints' starting quarterback Thursday against the Cowboys, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports. Impact Hill revealed Tuesday that the foot injury he's dealt with of late is a partial tear in his plantar fascia, according to Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. As a result of the issue, Hill has been kept on the sideline the past two contests as an emergency option, but he's poised for his first game action since Week 10 and first start of the campaign, replacing Trevor Siemian in the process. In four spot starts in place of Drew Brees last season, Hill completed 71.9 percent of his passes for 208.5 yards per game, tossed four touchdowns versus two interceptions and recorded 39 carries for 209 yards and four TDs.
