Added to bloated COVID-19 list The Saints placed Siemian (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday. Impact Siemian was one of nine New Orleans players added to the list Thursday, all the result of positive COVID-19 tests, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. If Siemian is vaccinated and asymptomatic, he'll be eligible to play Monday against the Dolphins, but the Saints already seem to be proceeding as though neither he nor top signal-caller Taysom Hill (illness) will be available to return from the list Week 16. With neither Hill nor his top backup expected to play, rookie fourth-round pick Ian Book is the likely candidate to start in his NFL debut Monday night, in a game that has major playoff implications for both the Saints and the Dolphins.
