New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is injured in the Week 8 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Saints officially have Winston ruled OUT of the game.
Jameis Winston scrambled to the left 3 yards. Bucs linebacker Devin White tackled Winston with a horse-collar.
He was carted-off the sidelines into the Saints locker room.
Winston appeared to twist his left knee as he went down from the tackle. It was an awkward tackle and fall. He was assisted off the football field .
White was penalized for the Horse Collar Tackle, 15 yards, enforced at New Orleans 12-yard line.
Winston rushed four times for 40 yards and connected on 6/10 passes for 56 yards and a 16-yard touchdown to wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith.
WHO IS TREVOR SIEMIAN?
Saints backup quarterback Trevor Siemian is leading the team. Taysom Hill is inactive due to a concussion injury.
Lately, Siemian has been a journeyman quarterback for the past several years. He's landed on the rosters of the Tennessee Titans (2020 - practice squad), New York Jets (2019), and Minnesota Vikings (2018). Siemian had extended time as the Denver Broncos starting quarterback from 2015 to 2017.
The Northwestern University product completed 498/841 passes for a completion rate of 59.2%. One of the reasons the Broncos released Siemian was his inconsistency by tossing 30 touchdowns, but he also had 24 costly interceptions. His career passer rating is 79.6.
