Bortles is expected to sign with the Saints on Friday to serve as the backup quarterback Monday against the Dolphins, Jeff Duncan of The Athletic reports.
Ian Book is poised to start at quarterback with Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian testing positive for COVID-19 this week, and Bortles now is set to join the mix. Bortles hasn't seen game action since 2019, though he did serve as Green Bay's backup quarterback in November when Aaron Rodgers was sidelined with COVID-19.
