Saints' Taysom Hill: Requires surgery

Hill was diagnosed Monday with a Lisfranc injury to his left foot and will require surgery, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Hill exited Sunday's season-ending win over Atlanta and will undergo surgery to repair the issue, followed by a second procedure later in the offseason to remove the hardware from his foot. Head coach Sean Payton said Monday that he didn't yet have a timetable for the quarterback's recovery. The 31-year-old completed 78 of 134 passes for 978 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions while rushing 70 times for 374 yards and five touchdowns across 12 appearances in 2021, finishing the season as the team's starter. He was rewarded with a four-year extension in November, but Payton declined to reveal the team's plans at quarterback in 2022 during Monday's press conference.
