Will fans get a look at Jameis Winston before the New Orleans Saints close out their preseason? The team saw enough out of veteran backup Andy Dalton to rest him after just ten snaps in their first exhibition game, and every other rep has since gone to second-year quarterback Ian Book. With Winston recovering from a foot sprain, the focus has shifted to evaluating Book to see if he has what it takes to hang in this league.
But Winston’s recovery has progressed well in recent weeks under the watchful eye of their new sports science director Matt Rhea, who New Orleans poached from Alabama in the spring. He’s taken back his spot in team drills and is now able to safely do enough to warrant the release of reserve passer K.J. Costello. But will Winston get on the field for Friday night’s preseason finale?
