Saints QB Jameis Winston suffers ‘significant’ knee injury

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston left Sunday’s 36-27 win against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a knee injury, a knee injury head coach Sean Payton acknowledged after the game was “significant.”

NFL Network is reporting that the injury is an apparent ACL injury with the potential for damage to his MCL.



“I think it’s significant,” Payton said. “He felt something and he’s on crutches right now. I don’t want to say until I have a chance to talk with the doctors.”

Winston, a former Buc, was injured on a scramble in the second quarter when he was tackled awkwardly by Tampa Bay linebacker Devin White, who was penalized for a horse-collar tackle.

Winston had to be helped to the sideline after being unable to walk off by himself. He was then carted back to the locker room.

QB Situation Big Question Mark

Trevor Siemian replaced Winston. Taysom Hill, New Orleans’ No. 2 quarterback, was unavailable as he remains in concussion protocol after being injured three weeks ago.

Winston completed 6 of 10 passes for 56 yards and rushed four times for 40 yards before exiting. Siemian closed out the win by going 16-of-29 for 159 yards and a touchdown.

Winston spent his first five NFL seasons with Tampa Bay. He is in his second campaign with the Saints.
