New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 despite having four back fractures.
News of a back injury first emerged following the Saints’ season opener last Sunday. Winston led New Orleans to a 27-26 win over the Atlanta Falcons, but was seen at the medical tent in the fourth quarter. When asked about what specifically was bothering him, he said he was experiencing “pain everywhere.”
This pain seemed to persist throughout the week as he was limited in practice and listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup against Tom Brady and the Bucs. By Saturday, Winston seemed to be in the clear with news leaking that the quarterback was expected to suit up. However, the four fractures were reported hours before kick off.
