Saints QB Jameis Winston says not playing 'hurts my soul'

METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston said he didn't think he would permanently lose his starting job to Andy Dalton after getting injured early in the season.

But the job is Dalton's for at least another week after Saints coach Dennis Allen announced Wednesday that he wouldn't be making a switch.

Dalton has been the starting quarterback since the Saints game against the Minnesota Vikings in London on Oct. 2. Allen hinted at the beginning of this week that he was considering a quarterback change because of offensive struggles for the last two games, but ultimately decided against it.
