On December 1st, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-taysom-hill-confirmed-out-for-season-knee-injury">Hill suffered a season-ending ACL injury</a> in the team’s 21-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was placed on injury reserve last Friday.</p><p>Hill has been noticeably silent, making his statement via his Instagram the first since the injury. His statement is below.</p><p><i>It’s times like these that cause you to take a step back and reflect on so many things.</i></p><p><i>It’s no secret that I’m disappointed with the injury that I suffered against the Rams a couple of weeks ago. Despite the injury, it’s given me an opportunity to realize how much this game means to me and what it has given me and my family!</i></p><p><i>Words can’t express how grateful I am for the Saints fan base and the way they have embraced me and my family. Sunday against the Rams was an emotional day, but there was no greater emotion felt than when I heard our fan base cheer as I left the field. Who Dat nation is really one of a kind in the best way possible and I thank you!</i></p><p><i>As for my future, I will be having surgery to repair my damaged knee and step on the road to recovery. I am confident that through the help of an incredible medical staff I will make a full recovery.</i></p><p><i>Thanks to everyone for all the messages and well wishes, we have felt your love!</i></p><p>Before his injury, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-taysom-hill-makes-nfl-history-vs-bears">Hill was delivering another strong season for New Orleans.</a> He recorded 39 carries for 278 yards and six touchdowns, along with 23 receptions for 187 yards. As a passer, he completed 2 of 4 attempts for 21 yards and one interception. Hill participated in 42% of the offensive snaps and 33 special teams snaps during the games he played.</p><p>His standout performance was against the Cleveland Browns in a 35-14 win. Hill rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns on just seven carries, caught eight passes for 50 yards, completed an 18-yard pass, and returned a kickoff for 42 yards. Hill is under contract through the 2025 season so he will certainly be back with the Saints in the near future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Beyond the outcome of the game, the team also lost one of their most versatile and beloved players to a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-taysom-hill-confirmed-out-for-season-knee-injury">season-ending injury</a>.</p><p>New Orleans’ do-it-all tight end <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-taysom-hill-carted-off-injury-rams">Taysom Hill sustained a big helmet hit</a> to his knee in the fourth quarter and was carted off the field. The pain on his face was apparent, but so was the appreciation he felt for the outpouring of support he received from the Caesars Superdome.</p><p>Veteran quarterback Derek Carr, who threw 184 yards and one touchdown, also <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42725940/saints-taysom-hill-undergo-testing-knee-injury" rel="noopener">acknowledged the crowd’s cheers</a>. “I love how our fans treated him,” he said postgame, per ESPN’s Katherine Terrell. “I would expect nothing less from our fans.”</p><h2><b>Saints and their fans love Taysom Hill</b></h2><p>Carr has occasionally incurred the wrath of New Orleans during his tenure as starting signal-caller for the Saints, but he clearly holds no malice toward the fan base. Quite the contrary, the four-time Pro Bowler seems sincerely touched by the city’s warmth in the face of a devastating situation. Who Dat Nation knows what he and the rest of the locker room does– Hill’s impact on and off the field is difficult to replicate.</p><p>The Saints’ Swiss army knife has amassed 2,369 passing yards, 2,437 rushing yards, 943 receiving yards and 55 total touchdowns through the first eight seasons of his NFL career. New Orleans solemnly hopes that Hill is able to add to those numbers at some point in the future.</p><p>When the offense is struggling, the 34-year-old is frequently called upon to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-taysom-hill-pulls-off-versatile-feat-not-accomplished-since-1971">make a big play</a>. He has occupied various roles and responsibilities, but his unwavering commitment to the organization has remained the same.</p><p>Although Derek Carr and company do not have a realistic postseason berth to vie for, they will surely be motivated to make a strong impact on behalf of their injured brother. Thoughts and prayers are with Taysom Hill as he prepares for a long recovery.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It would become available that Hill’s injury appeared to be a knee injury. Given his need for the cart, it could be a lengthy rehab process for the Saints’ offensive playmaker.</p><p>As one of the few quarterback-tight end hybrids in recent NFL history, Hill has become a fan favorite across the league, specifically in Louisiana.</p><p>Hill’s season was panning out to be one of his more productive years, totaling six touchdowns through seven games played. Now, it looks like his season could be cut short.</p><h2><b>Saints’ Taysom Hill suffers knee injury against Rams, carted off field</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Taysom-Hill.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After exploding onto the scene— specifically, following his 2020 season— Hill instantly became a fan favorite in the fantasy football landscape. As a tight end who also played quarterback, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-espn-making-big-change-to-taysom-hill-fantasy-football-status">Hill was a cheat code for fantasy rosters</a>, giving teams the option of starting a quarterback in the tight end slot.</p><p>For teams with Hill on their roster, they’d be able to have two quarterbacks starting per week, while their opponents could start just one.</p><p>And while his production slowed once the Saints added quarterback Derek Carr to the team, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-taysom-hill-pulls-off-versatile-feat-not-accomplished-since-1971">Hill was having another strong season</a> this year as the do-it-all playmaker on offense.</p><p>Through seven games for the Saints this year, Hill accumulated 418 scrimmage yards, finding the end zone six times. Though his usage was a bit inconsistent, he was a part of this offense that kept opposing defenses on their toes. Regardless of where Hill lined up on the field, he proposed a threat to defenses.</p><p>Whether as a passer, a runner, or a receiver, Hill made defenses pay. However, following his knee injury suffered against the Rams in Week 13, Hill could be sidelined for the remainder of the season if the damage to his knee is as bad as it looked on TV.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TaysomHill?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TaysomHill</a><br>Carted off with significant left knee injury.

He retired in 1977 as Kansas City’s all-time leading rusher, and he led the Chiefs in both receiving yards <i>and </i>punt return yards on three different occasions.</p><p>Taysom Hill hasn’t been used nearly as frequently as Podalak was, at least not recently, but you could make the case that he should be utilized a whole heck of a lot more. It’s rare to find someone with Hill’s skillset, as evidenced by the fact that he accomplished this ultra-rare feat on Sunday. Not only did Hill score three touchdowns on the ground, he also rushed for a career-high 138 yards against the Browns and hauled in a career-best eight receptions.</p><p>With their second consecutive win under <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-darren-rizzi-truth-bomb-first-win-replacing-dennis-allen">interim head coach Darren Rizzi</a>, the once-lifeless Saints are now clinging to hope that they could fight their way back into the postseason picture.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
