In a recent development in the New Orleans Saints camp, tight end Taysom Hill made a triumphant return to practice on Thursday after suffering a chest injury during Sunday’s game against the Cowboys. Despite needing a trip to the hospital, Hill showed his resilience by flying back with the team and taking part in limited drills.
Coach Dennis Allen expressed his optimism about Hill’s availability for Week 3, stating, “I’m hopeful that he’ll be able to play.” Hill’s presence on the practice field is a positive sign that he is on track for a potential return to game action.
Joining Hill in the limited practice session was linebacker D’Marco Jackson, who has been dealing with a calf injury. The duo’s return to practice is a boost for the team as they prepare for their upcoming matchup.
However, the injury bug continued to plague the Saints as safety Will Harris (shin) and wide receiver A.T. Perry (illness) were added to the practice report. Harris was unable to practice, while Perry was limited in his participation.
The injury report also featured familiar names such as defensive tackle Khalen Saunders (calf) and offensive tackle Landon Young (foot), who remained sidelined from practice.
On the bright side, cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring), offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga (back), safety Tyrann Mathieu (heel), and wide receiver Cedrick Wilson (abdomen) were all limited participants in practice, showing signs of progress in their respective recoveries.
As the Saints gear up for their next game, the team will closely monitor the status of their players and make necessary adjustments to ensure they are at full strength come game day. With Hill’s return to practice serving as a beacon of hope, the Saints remain focused on overcoming adversity and emerging victorious in their upcoming challenges.
