NEW ORLEANS — Saints tight end Taysom Hill shared a heartfelt message to fans following his season-ending knee injury in the game against the Rams on Dec. 1. Hill faces a challenging road to recovery after his ACL injury.
Since the injury, Hill has not spoken to the media but shared a message on Instagram expressing gratitude for the support.
"It’s times like these that cause you to take a step back and reflect on so many things.
It’s no secret that I’m disappointed with the injury that I suffered against the Rams a couple of weeks ago. Despite the injury, it’s given me an opportunity to realize how much this game means to me and what it has given me and my family!
Words can’t express how grateful I am for the Saints fan base and the way they have embraced me and my family. Sunday against the Rams was an emotional day, but there was no greater emotion felt than when I heard our fan base cheer as I left the field. Who Dat nation is really one of a kind in the best way possible and I thank you!
As for my future, I will be having surgery to repair my damaged knee and step on the road to recovery. I am confident that through the help of an incredible medical staff I will make a full recovery.
Thanks to everyone for all the messages and well wishes, we have felt your love!"
