Saints QB Winston misses third consecutive practice
New Orleans starter Jameis Winston missed his third consecutive practice and is now listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game in London.
LONDON, UK — The Vikings have more to deal with an international time adjustment before taking the field against the New Orleans Saints Sunday. They’re also playing a guessing game about who will be at the controls of the Saints offense.
Saints backup quarterback Andy Dalton took first-team snaps again with injured starter Jameis Winston sitting out a third consecutive practice Friday ahead of Sunday’s game at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Winston has been playing through a back injury sustained in the season opener but was held out of practice all week ahead of the NFL’s first international game of the season. The eighth-year quarterback also is nursing an ankle injury and during a media briefing New Orleans head coach Dennis Allen said Winston was “doubtful” for Sunday’s contest.
Earlier in the week, Winston said he was preparing to play against the Vikings.
Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is officially listed as out after missing three straight practices because of a foot injury. Thomas leads the team with three touchdown receptions.
Winston has thrown for 858 yards with four TD passes and five interceptions in three games. He has completed 63.5% of his passes, but has been wildly inconsistent throughout his NFL career.
There’s not a ton of drop-off if Dalton gets the nod against the Vikings: He stepped in to start nine games for the Cowboys in 2020 after Dallas starter Dak Prescott’s season-ending ankle injury in Week 5. That season, Dalton completed 64.9% of his passes, throwing for 2,170 yards with 14 TDs and eight interceptions.
The Saints are Dalton’s fourth team in as many years after he spent his first nine seasons as a starter for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Last year, Dalton appeared in eight games and made six starts for division-rival Chicago, completing 63.1% of his passes for 1,515 yards with eight touchdowns and nine interceptions.

Open Arms is a nonprofit that delivers food to critically ill people. It said December is a crucial month for donations, because they will make decisions on their programs and services for the next year.
“Wages and the cost of ingredients have gone up 30% since the end of COVID or the end of the COVID years, and so that is really, really hard on all nonprofits,” said CEO Leah Hébert Welles. “And then the second thing, government funds have dried up.”
“It’s almost kind of like the way that the tide works and a big body of water where there is still significant need, but that wave of resources from 2020 has backed up, and the need for nonprofits is still right there,” said Jake Blumberg, the executive director of GiveMN, the organization in charge of Give to the Max Day.
Blumberg says 30% of donations for nonprofits happen in the last six weeks of the year.
“We have to make really hard decisions about what we can do next year, how many more people we can help, how many more staff we can hire,” said Welles,
