Jameis Winston (knee) active at Saints OTAs
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) is participating in offseason drills.
What It Means:
Winston tore his ACL on Halloween last year, but he continues to be on track for Week 1. The Saints added Jarvis Landry in free agency and spent a first-round pick on Chris Olave, and Michael Thomas is expected back, so Winston should benefit from the upgrade in receiving talent. He helped the Saints achieve a 5-2 record before going down in Week 8.
Winston completed 59.0 percent of his passes last season and averaged 167.1 yards per game while throwing 14 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He also added 23.7 rushing yards per game and scored once. Among the 44 quarterbacks with at least 100 drop backs, Jameis ranked 14th in Passing Net Expected Points per drop back.
