Enjoy that sigh of relief. Multiple outlets now say that the New Orleans Saints believe Jameis Winston dodged a significant injury in Monday’s training camp practice, with NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill first reporting that the quarterback isn’t believed to be dealing with “anything major,” which was echoed by Nola.com’s Jeff Duncan, who adds that Winston will miss a few days of practice and New Orleans’ first preseason game because of it.
That makes sense. Winston completed four pass attempts and handed off the ball on a fifth play during 7-on-7’s before exiting for evaluations with the team’s training staff, and practice was not disrupted by his absence. He was not carted off the field or anything. It sounds like the team just wants to practice an abundance of caution with their No. 1 quarterback. Putting him in a live game while he’s dinged up isn’t smart.
