ARLINGTON, Texas — New Orleans Saints quarterback-slash-tight end-slash-fullback Taysom Hill was sent to a Dallas-area hospital following a chest injury sustained in the second half of the team's 44-19 dismantling of the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Sunday.
According to head coach Dennis Allen, Hill was sent to the hospital for more imaging of his injury. WWL Louisiana media partner and 'Locked on Saints' host Ross Jackson reported that Allen said it might be more precautionary, but more details will come from the additional tests.
"Hill is scheduled for more imaging tests today, but the team at the moment believes his injury is not overly serious," Werder said in a tweet.
On Monday afternoon, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported Hill had checked out fine.
During a Saints press conference, Allen provided an update on Hill's status.
“Taysom’s doing good, he feels good, and I don’t know if we’ve gotten all the results back on (the testing) he went and had some more imaging today,” he said. “I think we avoided anything real serious.”
Times-Picayune reporter Luke Johnson also confirmed the news on social media.
Before leaving, Hill rushed for 18 yards on three carries and recorded a one-yard reception.
