New Orleans Saints super utility player Taysom Hill had to be carted off of the field Sunday.
During the fourth quarter of the Saints’ Week 13 clash with the Los Angeles Rams, Hill took a helmet to the knee while scrambling on a quarterback run. The 34-year-old needed assistance from team medical personnel as he remained on the ground after taking the hit.
Eventually, he was helped onto a cart and taken back to the locker room for further evaluation.
Hill, who has taken snaps at quarterback and tight end, had five carries for 10 yards and five catches for 37 yards in the game before his knee injury.

Taysom Hill injury update
On a fourth-and-1 play late in the fourth quarter of the Saints’ game against the Rams, Hill scrambled to the left side and picked up two yards for a first down.
After he crossed the line to gain, the quarterback/tight end hybrid utility player appeared to take a helmet to the knee from Rams cornerback Cobie Durant. Hill had to be carted off of the field and was listed as ‘doubtful’ to return by the Saints shortly thereafter.
He did not return to the game, and the team has not yet provided an update on his status since their 21-14 loss to the Rams went final.
