Saints QB/TE suffered a knee injury in the game against the Rams

New Orleans Saints super utility player Taysom Hill had to be sent off the field on Sunday.

During the fourth quarter of the Saints’ Week 13 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, Hill suffered a helmet injury to his knee while struggling on a quarterback run. The 34-year-old required the help of the team’s medical staff as he remained on the ground after the hit.

He was eventually helped onto a cart and taken back to the locker room for further examination.

Hill, who has played snaps at quarterback and tight end, had five carries for 10 yards and five catches for 37 yards in the game before his knee injury.

Taysom Hill injury update

On a four-and-1 play late in the fourth quarter of the Saints’ game against the Rams, Hill scrambled to the left side and gained two yards for the first down.

After crossing the finish line to win, the quarterback/tight end hybrid utility player appeared to take a helmet up to his knee from Rams cornerback Cobie Durant. Hill had to be carried off the field and was deemed “doubtful” by the Saints shortly afterwards to return.

He did not return to the game and the team has not yet provided an update on his status as the 21-14 loss to the Rams was final.
