In a resilient display of grit and determination, Saints’ versatile weapon Taysom Hill heroically returned to New Orleans on Sunday night after being transported to the hospital with a chest injury. This setback occurred during the Saints’ emphatic 44-19 road triumph over the Dallas Cowboys.
Despite the alarm, Hill is slated for further tests on Monday. Fortunately, team sources have relayed to Dallas’ WFAA TV that the injury is not considered “too serious.” Fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as the team remains optimistic.
Saints’ Head Coach Dennis Allen confirmed post-game that Hill was indeed taken to the hospital. However, the details surrounding the exact moment or nature of the injury remain unclear. The announcement in the second half that he was unlikely to return did raise concern momentarily among the devoted fanbase.
Despite his early exit, Hill, 34, still managed to contribute with three carries for 18 yards and snagged a 1-yard reception. In the Week 1 victory over the Carolina Panthers, Hill had amassed five carries for 35 yards.
