Jameis Winston exits Saints/Bucs game after apparent injury
The New Orleans Saints are in the midst of a Week 8 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they might have to continue this one without their quarterback, as Jameis Winston exited the game after getting brought down awkwardly by Devin White.
As Jeff Nowak notes in the tweet below, Winston “hobbled and eventually goes down”. He then was helped off the field and eventually a cart was brought out for him.
With Winston out of the lineup, Trevor Siemian steps in as the backup. Remember — Taysom Hill is still out with a concussion and Ian Book is inactive and has been throughout the season.
Uh oh. Jameis Winston gets brought down from behind by Devin White after somehow escaping the pocket. White called for a horsecollar. Winston hobbled and eventually goes down. He's now getting helped off the field. No Taysom Hill today, so Trevor Siemian takes over. #Saints

Jameis Winston left the Saints/Bucs game with an injury
This was Winston’s first game against the team that spent a No. 1 pick on him six years ago. It was a revenge game for the former Buc and hopefully, he’s okay and can return at some point.
Siemian is the only active quarterback on the roster at the moment with Hill out and Book inactive. If Winston is out for next week, perhaps we see Ian Book under center against the Falcons.
Armstead and Kamara just put Winston on the cart

As of now, all we know is that Winston was carted off and some teammates went to check on him. We’ll continue to update this post as we get more information on the injury. Here’s to hoping that Jameis Winston is okay and able to return at some point this season.
