Trevor Siemian Reportedly Expected to Be Saints' Starting QB vs. Falcons

Fresh off leading the New Orleans Saints to a win after replacing Jameis Winston last week, Trevor Siemian will likely get a chance to start on Sunday. 

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Siemian is expected to be under center for the Saints against the Atlanta Falcons. 

Siemian made his season debut in the second quarter against the Bucs after Winston injured his knee. The 29-year-old finished 16-of-29 for 155 yards and one touchdown in New Orleans' 36-27 win. 

Saints head coach Sean Payton told reporters on Monday that Winston suffered a torn ACL and damage to his MCL. The injury will keep Winston out for the rest of the season. 

Taysom Hill did return to practice this week after missing the past two games because of a concussion. He was a full participant in Thursday's practice after being limited on Wednesday. 

Hill appeared in each of the Saints' first five games, including four starts. The 31-year-old has primarily been used as a runner and pass-catcher with 114 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on 19 touches. 

Assuming he gets the nod on Sunday, Siemian will be making his first start since Week 2 of the 2019 season when he was a member of the New York Jets. He has a 13-12 career record as a starting quarterback in the NFL. 

The Saints (5-2) enter Week 9 as the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoff standings.
