The New Orleans Saints are set to swing a change under centre. Trevor Siemian has held the starting quarterback job for five weeks, in which New Orleans has lost four consecutive games. While the former Bronco has an impressive 9 touchdowns to 3 interceptions, his completion percentage has severely affected the Saints’ efficiency on offense.

Siemian’s highest completion percentage since replacing injured starter Jameis Winston is 60.98% — in the 27-25 loss to Atlanta — though he has failed to hit 60% in each of his other four appearances. With New Orleans’ season now hanging in the balance, despite the same record as the NFC’s #7 seed Minnesota, Taysom Hill is being called in to start, according to Mike Triplett of ESPN.

The NFL Nation reporter said in an article for ESPN that Hill had practiced in full all week, which has seemingly been enough to convince head coach Sean Payton. Hill has been dogged by a plantar fascia injury since Week 10 and as such, hasn’t been a viable option at the starting quarterback position since.

Now things appear to have changed, with Triplett reporting the Saints’ hope the BYU product will provide their offense with some newfound juice.

Despite Triplett’s confirmation, Payton stopped well short of crowning Hill as the starter during his press conference Wednesday.

"We'll see,” he said, via Katherine Terrell of The Athletic. “Yeah, we'll see. We want to see how Taysom is doing tomorrow. Obviously we're trying to get him back off this foot. It'll be either he or Trevor." "(The injury) happened at Tennessee and he's gradually gotten better each week.

"Last week when that topic was brought up, I just knew it wouldn't be right to put him back there with the shape his foot was in at the time. It's gotten better. I'm going to see how tomorrow goes. We've got a lot of time before we play."

The Saints don’t have time to lose again, particularly against a conference rival. Their 4-4 record against the NFC isn’t doing them any favors in the playoff picture, and another loss could mean this team is over the hill for another season.
