Taysom Hill Injury Update
Taysom Hill is trying to get back on the field after tearing his ACL late last year. He hurt his left knee in Week 13 of the 2024 season. Since then, he has been recovering and working through rehab with the Saints medical staff.
This week, Hill returned to practice on a limited basis. He was seen throwing and catching. He worked a bit with quarterbacks and tight ends. The Saints have opened his 21-day window to practice. This lets him train with the team before they have to add him back to the active game day roster or end his season.
Taysom Hill is back at Practice
Right now, Hill is not listed as “out” for the next game. That means he might be close to playing. His official status for Sunday’s game against the Giants has not been set yet. The next injury report will make it clear if he is ready.
The Saints have been careful with his return. ACL injuries often need extra time. The team does not want to rush him into action. Coaches say they want Hill healthy for the long run. Observers think he probably will not play this weekend. Some reports hint that he is more likely to return closer to Week 8 when New Orleans faces Tampa Bay at home.
The Saints offense has missed his versatility. Hill is often a part of both the passing and running attack. When healthy, he lines up at quarterback, tight end, and running back. He stays important for special teams. His numbers before the injury—278 rushing yards and six touchdowns—show what the Saints have missed.
For now, Hill is back at practice but limited. He is not fully cleared for games. More test sessions will show if he is ready soon. The Saints will update his progress before each game this month.
