METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill will try to play through a mallet finger injury that he suffered in Thursday night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys without having surgery, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Saints doctors determined that Hill suffered a mallet finger (the name for an injured tendon at the tip of the finger), according to the source. However, Hill's injury was not as extensive as the one that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson suffered earlier this year, which did require surgery. Wilson suffered both a mallet finger and a fracture-dislocation.
