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>

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>

It’s not like he’s just lining up out there. He can really do it all.”</p><p>Initially signed by the Packers as a UDFA, Hill has been doing a little bit of everything for the Saints since landing with the team in 2017, from returning kicks to playing running back to starting games under center as a quarterback.

He’s a really good special teams player. I’ve had games where he started at quarterback against us. I was in Philly, we played him, and he can run. I mean, he ran the whole offense. His threat as a runner, he can play running back, he can play tight end, he can play wide receiver. Multidimensional players like that make it a little bit hard to zero in on your game plan because you can’t just say, when he goes in the game, he’s a running back. We talked a little bit about Kubiak and Shanahan and some of that influence,” Schwartz told reporters.</p><p>“They’re using him a lot the way that San Fran uses (Kyle) Juszczyk. Yeah, 44 and getting him on the move. Those guys that blur the lines of, ‘Is that guy a fullback? Is he a running back? Is he a wide receiver? Is he a tight end?’ The answer is yes. That’s sort of the way with Taysom. I got a lot of respect for that player. He’s tough, he plays the game the way it should be played. He takes the first play last week and goes for a touchdown, it gets called back with a penalty. But that’s just an outstanding individual play. You can’t really put that guy in a box and say he’s just a specialty quarterback or he’s only a specialty tight end or whatever it is. I mean, don’t hand him the ball in short yardage, they’ll let him be the quarterback. We talked a lot about Kamara, but that’s a guy. And they missed him when he was injured, too. He’s missed some time with that chest injury. So, fortunately, we know he wears number seven.”</p><p>In six games of action for the Saints in 2024, Hill has run the ball 27 times for 130 yards and three touchdowns, caught ten passes for 100 yards, completed one pass for three yards, and even recorded a tackle for loss, forced a fumble, and safety in a fantastic play against the Chargers in Week 9. When Hill is on the field, teams really do have to know where number seven is at all times because he can impact a game from almost anywhere.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The losing streak erased a promising start to the season when the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-derek-carr-new-orleans-fall-4-points-shy-nfl-history">offense nearly made NFL history</a> over the team’s first two games. Last week’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-chris-olave-alvin-kamara-laundry-list-injury-updates">laundry list of an injury report</a> included 14 players who were either limited or unable to practice. Unsurprisingly, the Saints lost their Week 7 matchup with the Denver Broncos 33-10. It was their second straight blowout defeat.</p><p>However, the team could receive some much needed <a href="https://x.com/JohnJHendrix/status/1849570254084620310" rel="noopener">offensive reinforcement</a> for Week 8. Both Chris Olave and Taysom Hill went from limited on Wednesday to a full practice on Thursday, per Saints reporter John Hendrix on X.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-chris-olave-evaluated-concussion-early-vs-buccaneers">Olave was forced from the Saints’ Week 6 loss</a> to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a concussion. He was then <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-chris-olave-ruled-out-broncos-clash-with-concussion">ruled out for Week 7 against the Broncos</a>. He’s now returned to a full practice for the team. But Olave will need to clear the concussion protocol through an independent neurologist in order to take the field on Sunday.</p><p>The Saints desperately need Olave back in action after losing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-big-rashid-shaheed-injury-move">Rashid Shaheed to a season-ending knee injury</a>. Shaheed leads New Orleans in receiving yards this season and his loss creates an even bigger hole on offense.</p><h2><b>The Saints need Chris Olave and Taysom Hill back on the field</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Chris-Olave.jpg"><figcaption>Dale Zanine-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Hill has only played in three games for the Saints this season and he’s currently dealing with an injury to his ribs. The multiple position offensive weapon hasn’t suited up for New Orleans since the Week 4 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Like Olave, Hill went from limited to a full participant in practice on Thursday. If he’s able to take the field in Week 8, he’d help fill out an anemic offense. And he could even take some snaps at quarterback.</p><p>Starting QB <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-derek-carr-miss-multiple-games-after-injury-chiefs">Derek Carr suffered an oblique injury</a> in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s been unable to play since as the team turned to rookie signal caller Spencer Rattler. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-spencer-rattler-set-another-start-saints-chargers-clash">Saints will start Rattler again in Week 8</a> when the team takes on the Chargers in Los Angeles.</p><p>While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-chris-olave-excited-take-spencer-rattler-move">Olave was excited to play with Rattler</a>, the offense has been extremely shaky under the first year quarterback. However, New Orleans received a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-dereck-carr-gets-huge-injury-update-from-dennis-allen">positive update on Carr</a> as the veteran is recovering well and could return to the team for Week 9.</p><p>The Saints signed RB <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-alvin-kamara-agrees-24-5-million-contract-extension">Alvin Kamara to a two-year, $24.5 million contract extension</a> this week. While Kamara too has been banged up this season, he’s yet to miss a game, racking up 690 total yards of offense and seven touchdowns.</p><p>New Orleans looks to improve to 3-5 on the season when they play the 3-3 Chargers on Sunday. The Saints are currently in third place in the NFC South.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With a 2-3 record after dropping three consecutive games, including a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-derek-carr-leaves-chiefs-game-potential-injury">26-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football</a>, the Saints are looking to halt their slide but will be without a key offensive weapon.</p><p>Tight end Taysom Hill has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game, <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1844830653377843374" rel="noopener">according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter</a>. Hill, who provides versatility as a tight end, quarterback, and special teams contributor, missed the entire week of practice due to an undisclosed injury. His absence creates a notable gap in the Saints’ offensive schemes, as Hill’s role has been critical in several short-yardage situations and trick plays.</p><h2><b>Alvin Kamara and Rashid Shaheed cleared to play in Saints-Buccaneers Week 6 matchup</b></h2><p>In more encouraging news for New Orleans, running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed have been removed from the injury report and are expected to play. Kamara, a cornerstone of the Saints’ rushing and passing game, will be pivotal in relieving pressure on the offense. Shaheed, who was limited in practice earlier in the week, is now cleared to return and will provide another playmaking option for the Saints as they look to bounce back from their recent struggles.</p><p>The Saints also face quarterback uncertainty with Derek Carr sidelined after suffering an oblique tear in last week’s loss to the Chiefs. This injury has paved the way for rookie quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-saints-spencer-rattler-derek-carr-replacement-week-6">Spencer Rattler to make his NFL debut</a>. Rattler saw considerable action during the preseason, completing 20 of 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown, offering a glimpse of his potential. The Saints are hopeful that Rattler’s preseason experience, combined with Kamara and Shaheed’s return, will provide enough firepower to compete against the Buccaneers.</p><p>As New Orleans heads into the divisional clash, the team will rely heavily on Kamara and Shaheed to offset the loss of Hill and support Rattler in his starting role.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was <a href="https://x.com/SaintsPR/status/1840464525008527557" rel="noopener">ruled out</a> for the rest of the game with an abdomen injury, according to Saints PR.</p><p>Hill was already having a strong game against the Falcons, scoring two goal-line touchdowns, and was keeping the Saints in the game after Atlanta got up quickly. The hope is that Taysom Hill’s injury isn’t serious, but there will most likely be more updates after the game and throughout the week.</p><h2>Taysom Hill injured again for Saints</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Taysom-Hill.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This isn’t the first time that Taysom Hill has been injured this season for the Saints. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-taysom-hill-doubtful-for-eagles-game">Hill was out in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles</a> with a chest injury, but he was able to come back for the Falcons game. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to stay in for the entire game, and it was a different injury.</p><p>For years, Hill has done a lot of different things for the Saints when he’s on the field. He’s played quarterback, tight end, and they line him up as a running back as well at times.</p><p>So far this season, the Saints have had one of the best offenses, and it’s been led by Derek Carr and Klint Kubiak. Alvin Kamara has been dominating the run game, and in the air, Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed have been making big plays. Coming into the season, there were a lot of questions on how the Saints would look, and so far, they’ve exceeded expectations. They had a tough loss against the Eagles in Week 3 and didn’t score a lot of points, but hopefully, that was just a small hiccup for a team that looks to be good this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Cowboys held Hill out of the end zone, however, they were not as lucky with running back Alvin Kamara who posted 180 total yards and four touchdowns against Dallas.

On Sunday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the news in a <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1733710315160752219">social media post</a>.</p><p>Hill’s absence could mean a high number of carries for the Saints’ primary running back, Alvin Kamara.</p><p>Hill had a team-leading 75 rushing yards on nine carries when the Saints defeated the Panthers 20-17 in their first matchup on September 18th.</p><p>Kamara — the Saints’ leading rusher, has notched 508 years on 133 carries with four touchdowns this season.</p><p>The Panthers’ run defense has been a problem all season.

Obviously, we have to still play better.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

No, New Orleans’ Swiss Army Knife <a href="https://twitter.com/nick_underhill/status/1732497658814865876" rel="noopener">is dealing with</a> both foot and left hand injuries, per NOF Network’s Nick Underhill.</p><p>The Saints will monitor Hill throughout the week, but this doesn’t bode well for his availability for Week 14’s game against the New Orleans Panthers.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-most-blame-week-13-loss-vs-lions" rel="noopener">Hill’s injuries hit the Saints</a> at a particularly inconvenient time.

In Week 13’s loss to the Detroit Lions, Carr suffered a concussion in addition to a rib injury, and is in NFL protocol for head injuries.</p><h2><b>Saints hit hard with injuries</b></h2><p>As New Orleans playmakers have dropped with injuries, Hill has stepped up in recent weeks. He received a season-high 13 carries in Week 13. He’s also caught multiple passes in four straight games.</p><p>Hill was joined by WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) and TE Juwan Johnson (quad) on Wednesday’s injury report. Shaheed didn’t practice, while Johnson was limited.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/NFL-Week-13-injury-roundup-ADD-KEY-NAME-OR-NAMES.jpg"></figure><p>If Carr is unable to dress on Sunday, backup QB Jameis Winston would be in line to start under center. But the Saints also might be inclined to give Hill more touches to keep Carolina’s defense occupied with Carr on the sideline.</p><p>New Orleans’ season was taking a turn for the worse before Wednesday. This injury report is simply more bad news for the Saints.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hill had been listed as a tight end for all of training camp, according to Saints beat writer Nick Underhill.</p><p>Hill is one of the NFL’s few positionless players, as he lines up all over the field for the Saints. Hill, 33, only caught 9 passes for 77 yards last season while being listed officially as a tight end.</p><p>Hill explained this offseason to the New Orleans Saints official website that he was <a href="https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/taysom-hill-tight-end-quarterback-roles-new-orleans-saints-minicamp-2023" rel="noopener">hoping to expand</a> on his skill set as a receiver for the 2023 season.</p><p>“I think that’s kind of stuff that hasn’t been explored a ton with me here,” Hill said. “The throwing stuff as a quarterback or running, that stuff we’ve been doing that for a long time and that’s come really natural for me. I think running routes and catching balls, that was a foreign thing for me and I also think because of that, we haven’t done a ton of it and I think there’s some opportunities there that we just haven’t explored yet. As I look at next season, I think the hope and the expectation is that that expands a little bit.”</p><p>Hill being listed as a quarterback may not change his actual role much, as the majority of his touches came running the ball last year (96 carries, 575 yards, 7 touchdowns) as opposed to passing (19 attempts) or receiving (9 catches).</p><p>Fantasy football managers, however, should take note of the official change. Depending on the site, Hill may now be listed solely as a quarterback, making him impossible to start in regular roster leagues at tight end or flex. Hill had been sort of a cheat code for fantasy football players by providing rushing stats at tight end, but that loophole may be closing with the Saints making Taysom Hill a quarterback with the recent roster move ahead of Week 1 against the Titans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
