METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton announced that Trevor Siemian will get the first shot at replacing Jameis Winston as the team's starting quarterback Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Taysom Hill is also expected to play a role after returning from a concussion this week.
Siemian, 29, has not been a regular starter in the NFL since he went 13-11 with the Denver Broncos from 2016-2017. However, he did start one game with the New York Jets in 2019 and did an impressive job last Sunday of stepping in for an injured Winston during New Orleans' 36-27 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
