This week of practice will go a long way in determining where they stand. If he’s still banged up but technically well enough to play, the team will have to gauge if that gives them their best chance to win. Post game, Winston walked very slow and gingerly to the podium. The Saints are now in an interesting scenario. It was his worst effort since week two of last season. ![]() He finished 25-of-40 with 236 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. He was off target on several throws and appeared indecisive at times. He tried often to connect with Olave but never could. ![]() The bottom line is Winston and the team were confident in him suiting up to play, thus there was an expectation of performance for which he fell well short. How much his health impacted his play, only Winston can answer. Still, it never felt like his playing status was in doubt, but right before kickoff Sunday it was reported that Winston was dealing with four fractures in his back. ![]() ![]() Then came his limited participation in practice throughout the week with a back injury. Earlier in the week, Winston caught my attention when he commented on how sore he still was on Wednesday. ![]()
