METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints (1-3) are preparing to start backup quarterback Andy Dalton against the Seattle Seahawks (2-2) on Sunday, according to Saints coach Dennis Allen.
Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is doubtful to play after missing all three practices for the second straight week. Winston did not play in the Saints 28-25 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London last week due to a back injury.
"I think he's getting better. ... but I think the most important thing is to get him healthy so we're not riding that roller coaster each and every week," Allen said.
