Saints quarterback Jameis Winston did not practice again on Thursday as the team continues its preparations for Sunday’s game against the Vikings in London. Winston said on Wednesday he expected to practice today but offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael says a decision was made to keep him on the sidelines again Thursday.
“They are just making what was the best decisions for him today….so we’ll just see where we are at tomorrow,” said Carmichael.
Winston has been playing this season with several fractures in his back, he also has an ankle injury. If Winston can’t go, veteran Andy Dalton will get the start and Carmichael has confidence Dalton will do his job.
“Absolutely have a ton of confidence in him that’s why he’s here, he’s smart, gets in out of the huddle, knows what we are doing, knows what the plan is,” said Carmichael.
Dalton is 34-years-old and in eleven seasons he’s thrown for 35,279 yards and 226 touchdowns and 135 interceptions.
