One key player, quarterback Jameis Winston, was absent from the Saints’ practice on Wednesday ahead of their London matchup vs. the Vikings leaving fans wondering what the reasoning was.
Winston is currently dealing with a back injury, along with an ankle injury. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer previously reported Winston is dealing with four fractures in his back, but not at risk of further damage. He’s missed various practices since the season began, although he’s started in all three games so far.
However, on Wednesday, the 28-year-old said it was the team’s choice to not have him participate at practice, not his.
