Winston limited in OTAs | Shark Bites | Draft Sharks

Saints QB Jameis Winston was a limited participant in OTAs this week, according to The Athletic's Katherine Terrell. Winston took part in individual drills, 7-on-7s and some 11-on-11s but was sporting a "bulky" brace and had a noticeable limp, per Terrell. Winston just resumed running earlier this month after last October's season-ending left knee injury. “The biggest thing about my specific injury was the meniscus,” Winston told reporters. “It wasn’t the ACL and MCL. The MCL actually healed on its own before surgery and the ACL, Dr. Neal ElAttrache did a phenomenal job. … It was a pretty simple procedure. But the meniscus repair has been the biggest limiter for me right now, in terms of moving, rolling out, in terms of certain movements that I’m not able to do just because of the timetable of the recovery. But my ACL is very stable, my MCL is very stable. Right now I’m building around and fighting with the meniscus.” The fact that Winston was on the field at all in May is a positive sign. We're expecting him to be under center for the Saints come Week 1.

New Saints HC Dennis Allen confirmed that QB Jameis Winston is on track to start Week 1. Recall that Winston suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 of last season. "Well, certainly that's certainly the plan," Allen said. "There's a lot of days between now and Week 1, but we certainly like where he's at right now. We like the progress that he's making. Man, I really loved a lot of the things that he did last year for us -- 14 touchdowns, three interceptions. There was just some really good stuff that you see. And my vision and my hope is that he continues to progress on the same level as he gets another year in the system." New Orleans passed on adding a QB in the draft. Instead, they bolstered the offense with WR Chris Olave and OT Trevor Penning. Winston, for now, profiles as a clear QB2 with spot-start potential.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Saints QB Jameis Winston is expected to be ready for training camp "if everything continues to go smoothly with his rehab." This doesn't come as a surprise after New Orleans committed to Winston financially earlier in the week, but it's good confirmation for those jumping into early best-ball fantasy football drafts.

NFL Network reports that QB Jameis Winston is re-signing with the Saints on a 2-year, $28 million deal that includes $21 million guaranteed. The money involved suggests New Orleans isn't too worried about the recovery of the ACL tear that ended Winston's 2021 on Halloween. It also obviously means that Winston will jump back into the starting lineup as soon as he's ready. Winston has been going in mid-to-low QB2 range in early best-ball drafting. The knee injury -- plus his general inconsistency -- will make it risky to draft Winston much higher than that, at least until he proves healthy.

An MRI on Saints QB Jameis Winston's left knee revealed a torn ACL and damage to his MCL, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Winston will miss the rest of the 2021 season. Set to hit free agency in March, Winston will probably struggle to find a starting job while rehabbing that knee.

Saints QB Jameis Winston is believed to have a "torn ACL with MCL damage," according to NFL Network's Jane Slater and Ian Rapoport. If confirmed, Winston will miss the rest of the season. New Orleans is expected to get QB Taysom Hill back from his concussion this week, putting him in line to start vs. the Falcons on Sunday. We'll see if the team makes any other moves at QB.
