During the eighth week of the 2021 season, Saints quarterback Jameis Winston suffered a broken ACL. He has been authorized to participate in the organized activities of the 2022 team, and so he is.

Clearly, a balance needs to be struck between preparing for 2022 and protecting yourself from a new injury or a new injury or a new injury while compensating for the knee. And if Winston has a setback, the next man is Andy Dalton and then Ian Book. (Taysom Hill has left the quarterback room by 2022.)
There is another possible path. The Saints, who tried to switch to Deshaun Watson in March, are jumping on the bandwagon for Baker Mayfield or Jimmy Garoppolo.
