NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints placed backup quarterback Jameis Winston on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday morning, meaning he won't be available for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Saints now have just two quarterbacks on their active roster -- starter Drew Brees and backup Taysom Hill -- after they released veteran Trevor Siemian on Saturday. That means Hill's typical role as a runner and receiver on offense could be limited.
The plan was for Winston to serve as Brees' backup so that Hill could be featured in other roles.
