Dennis Allen anticipates Jameis Winston practicing tomorrow.

Good news for owners as reports say Winston wasn't spotted today at practice and the team was preparing Dalton and Hill. The Saints play in London on Sunday morning so this is a situation to continue to monitor if you need to play Winston.

Jameis Winston was not at practice today. Andy Dalton took first team reps at QB, with Taysom Hill receiving reps as a reserve QB. This is different than past weeks.

Winston is dealing with broken bones in his back and the offense has struggled over the first three weeks. Keep in mind the Saints will fly to London to take on the Vikings this week in what will be a Sunday morning game. As the tweet said, it looks like the Saints are preparing in case they have to make a change at quarterback. Hill is dealing with a rib injury, but if he's good to go, and with Dalton under center, he could see increased time at QB - while being listed as a TE in a lot of leagues.

Jameis Winston sprained his right foot during the Saints' practice on August 8th, causing him to miss the team's first two preseason games. Returning to practice is a significant step towards a full return.

The article mentions that he had both of his feet "heavily taped" but could still move around normally. Winston isn't known for his wheels, so as long as his lower body is structurally sound, it shouldn't affect his game too much. If he is forced to miss time, we would presumably see veteran Andy Dalton man the quarterback position, but Winston will offer a higher upside for the Saints pass-catchers.

The New Orleans Saints are signing QB Andy Dalton to a one-year deal.

Dalton will back up Winston. His signing also means the Saints probably see Ian Book as nothing more than a clipboard holder.

With Justin Fields in COVID-19 protocols, QB Andy Dalton will start for the Chicago Bears Week 18 according to HC Matt Nagy.

Dalton has some upside in 2QB or Superflex leagues, but that is about it.

The Chicago Bears have placed QB Justin Fields on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Bears QB Justin Fields (ankle) was limited in his first practice since injuring his ankle. QB Andy Dalton was a full participant.

Foles played well in his spot start Week 16 and is probably a better option than Dalton should Fields miss Week 17.

It’s uncertain whether Justin Fields will start at quarterback against the Packers on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

“That’s going to be an ongoing discussion for us all week long,” Bears coach Matt Nagy said Monday. “So starting today as we start to game plan and then as it goes the rest of this week and I’m sure as each day passes, we’ll have more and more of an idea of where he’s at."

It's more of a pain-tolerance for Fields and the team isn't going to put him at risk. The fact Fields practiced last week, albeit in a limited fashion, should be a good sign for his potential to return, the story said.
