TAYSOM HILL NEWS

Ruled out for Week 3 HIll (chest) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Hill exited last Sunday's win at Dallas with a chest injury that forced a visit to a local hospital for further evaluation. He was able to travel back to New Orleans with his teammates, but he logged just two limited sessions in the meantime before the Saints listed him as questionable for Week 3 action. After the team downgraded him to doubtful Saturday, there was little leeway for Hill being available Sunday, and it's now been confirmed. In Hill's place, TEs Foster Moreau, Juwan Johnson and Dallin Holker and FB Adam Prentice will be tasked with stepping up in the Derek Carr-led offense.

Saints Morning Break: Taysom Hill downgraded to doubtful for Eagles game A collection of headlines and news about the Saints and the NFL for Sunday, Sept. 22

Downgraded to doubtful Hill (chest) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact Hill was hospitalized last week due to a chest injury, so it would have been a bit surprising for the versatile player to be available the following week. Assuming the veteran doesn't play, both Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau figure to see plenty of opportunities against a porous Eagles defense.

Will be questionable vs. Eagles Hill (chest) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, per coach Dennis Allen, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Hill was hospitalized due to a chest injury suffered in last week's win over the Cowboys, and while the injury ultimately wasn't deemed too serious, it may nonetheless impact his availability for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Even if Hill gets the green light to suit up, the versatile playmaker may see a diminished role, which will make Hill tough to trust for fantasy purposes.

Returns as limited Thursday HIll (chest) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact After Hill sat out Wednesday's session, coach Dennis Allen relayed hope that the tight end would return as limited one day later. Indeed, that has come to pass, but Hill still has some work to do as a result of the chest injury that forced him from this past Sunday's victory at Dallas and also resulted in a visit to a local hospital. Hill will have one more opportunity to practice this week before the Saints potentially give him a designation ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Eagles.

Impact Hill made an early exit from this past Sunday's win at Dallas due to a chest injury that resulted in him getting further evaluation at a local hospital. He was able to join his teammates for the flight back to New Orleans, and Allen told Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football on Monday that Hill "avoided anything serious." Even so, the team is exercising caution with Hill this week, but his ability to return to drills in the coming days could give him a chance to suit up Sunday against the Eagles.

Avoids significant injury Hill (chest) avoided a major injury following additional testing at the hospital Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Hill was apparently feeling good Monday and "avoided anything serious" according to head coach Dennis Allen, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. The tight end will go through the rehab process with his chest injury and there's currently no update on his status for Sunday's Week 3 contest in Atlanta. More information on Hill's availability will likely come following the team's first practice of the week Wednesday.

Impact Hill was transported to a hospital for evaluation after being forced out of Sunday's 44-19 win at Dallas in the second half, but he traveled back to New Orleans via the Saints charter. It's encouraging to hear that the team doesn't believe Hill's chest injury is overly severe, but an estimated timetable for his return won't be given until after the results of Monday's imaging tests are revealed. If Hill isn't able to play Week 3 versus the Eagles, Foster Moreau and Juwan Johnson will figure to dominate TE reps, while Jamaal Williams will be positioned to handle increased carries behind Alvin Kamara.

Getting evaluated at hospital Coach Dennis Allen said after Sunday's 44-19 win at Dallas that Hill (chest) went to the hospital to be evaluated further, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact After going to the locker room in the second half, Hill was deemed doubtful to return to Sunday's contest. Allen wouldn't elaborate on Hill's chest issue, aside from calling the visit a precautionary measure. Hill ended Week 2 with three carries for 18 yards and one catch (on one target) for one yard.

Handles rushing-centric role Week 1 Hill recorded five carries for 35 yards posted and caught one of his two targets for one yard during Sunday's 47-10 win versus the Panthers.

Impact Hill worked as the Saints' secondary rushing option to start the game, including a two-yard carry on the team's second play from scrimmage. The 34-year-old finished with four carries and one target in the first quarter, and it seems his playing time dwindled as the game got out of hand down the stretch. Backup running back Jamaal Williams logged more carries (11), but most of his touches came later in the second half when the game had already been essentially decided. Hill's early usage in the rushing game Sunday is a likely indicator of what his role could be under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak this season. It will be worth monitoring if/how his deployment changes when New Orleans faces what should be a much tougher road matchup versus Dallas on Sunday, Sept. 15.
