An undrafted free agent, Hill made his mark in the league by establishing himself as arguably the league&#8217;s most unique offensive weapon. Making a name for himself as a quarterback, tight end, running back, and special teams ace, the BYU product has been one of the bright spots on the Saints offense throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, he won&#8217;t return in Week 13 and could be gone for quite some time. During the fourth quarter, Hill carried the ball and took a helmet to his knee. The NFL&#8217;s Swiss army knife went down and was <a  href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1863368899288293857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quickly carted off<\/a>. As of this posting, we don&#8217;t know the severity of the injury, but it&#8217;s safe to say that it doesn&#8217;t look good.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Man&#8230; you hate to see this. Saints utilityman Taysom Hill has been carted off of the field after taking a helmet to the knee.

After coming out of the gate hot with two dominant victories, the team dropped seven straight games while enduring <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/11\/07\/chris-olave-concussion-future-saints\/\" target=\"_self\">injuries to Chris Olave<\/a>, Erik McCoy, Derek Carr, Rashid Shaheed, and seemingly half the defense. Hill himself missed some time but ultimately returned to the field in late October.<\/p>\n<p>If this is the end of Hill&#8217;s season, he&#8217;ll finish the year with 34 carries for 268 yards and six touchdowns while adding another 18 receptions for 150 yards. As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, he also completed two of his four passes for 21 yards.<\/p>\n<p>With Taysom Hill sidelined to injury, the Saints have no choice but to give more carries to running backs Alvin Kamara and Kevin Austin. Kamara, fresh off a major extension, will continue to receive one of the largest workloads in football, regardless of what happens with the Saints dwindling playoff chances.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Stephen Lew &#8211; USA Today Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Orleans Saints do-everything weapon Taysom Hill was carted off after suffering a knee injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":203011,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[7659,2399],"class_list":["post-203010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-saints","tag-saints-featured","tag-taysom-hill"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
