The New Orleans Saints have a big target on their backs for Week 4. It is a big game as they would compete in front of an international audience. But the franchise’s QB1, Jameis Winston, is missing out on the team reps and training. However, new updates may suggest that the franchise may deck up without Winston in the lead. New Orleans may have the Red Rifle in the slinging zone.
The UK fans eager to see Jameis Winston on the turf may not have their wish fulfilled. The QB1 is having back issues that went through the first three games. However, the Saints have kept a Maestro backup to make any necessary changes. Multiple sources have reported that in Winston’s absence, Andy Dalton is taking up the team reps.

Looks like the Saints are preparing in case they have to make a change at quarterback. Jameis Winston was not at practice today. Andy Dalton took first team reps at QB, with Taysom Hill receiving reps as a reserve QB. This is different than past weeks.

The NFL Rumors on Twitter also reported that Andy Dalton trended after Winston and Thomas missed practice. Even Saints’ OC Pete Carmichael believes the Red Rifle can do the task and is confident in him. However, the offensive coordinator had no update on the QB1 and his injuries.

If Winston cannot play in Sunday’s game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Dalton would make his first start for New Orleans. Following Dak Prescott’s ankle injury, the backup QB started nine plays for the Cowboys in 2020. He led them to a fair record, 4-5.
