Allen noted that he’ll sit down with Winston and the team medical staff to see if he’s ready to start games again, but the fractured vertebrae in his back are still months away from healing up. Winston isn’t actively receiving treatment from team doctors anymore, which is why he hasn’t been listed on the injury report each week, but that doesn’t mean his body is right. There just isn’t anything to be done about it now.
Maybe the Saints make a move. To be frank, it doesn’t matter who is starting at quarterback for this team given all of their issues in each of the game’s three phases: whether it’s Winston, Dalton, Taysom Hill, practice squad quarterback Jake Luton, or a time-traveling Drew Brees in his prime, they are who their record says they are. A futile defensive effort and mistake-prone special teams unit have sunk their season.
And this isn’t exactly the best week to trot out a passer with four cracked vertebrae. Los Angeles Rams superstar Aaron Donald is coming to town, and the Saints don’t expect to have any of their three injured starters along the offensive line back on the field (that being center Erik McCoy, left guard Andrus Peat, and left tackle James Hurst). Putting Winston out there without reliable protection wouldn’t do him any favors. But it’s not like he or the Saints have any better options. We’ll see if Allen ultimately makes a move here, but that seems to be the way the wind is blowing
Yet Winston admits he’s healthy enough to play.
