In a season full of injuries, the Saints got one more during their season finale against the Falcons.
Taysom Hill suffered a lisfranc injury and was taken out of the game for Trevor Siemian. Hill will have to have surgery on his foot and will be out indefinitely.

Hill had been the do-it-all player for the Saints this season as he was a hybrid quarterback, running back, and even a tight end.
He threw for 978 yards along with four touchdowns and five interceptions in nine games. Outside of passing, Hill rushed for 374 yards and five touchdowns on 70 carries.
The NFL world feels awful for Hill as he was playing well against Atlanta before he got injured.
Saints fans drag taysom for his QB play but you can’t deny the athleticism and how hard he plays week in and out for the saints. He kept this season alive for the saints because we were on a 5 game skid. https://t.co/tUY9DbWh7N

They’ll have to repair it and then a separate procedure to remove it. https://t.co/khvpmJ1jgr

New Orleans was one stop away in the San Francisco-Los Angeles game from going to the playoffs, but it’ll have to wait til next year to have another shot.
The Saints finished this season at 9-8 and should have quarterback Jameis Winston back next season should they want to move forward with him.
