The New Orleans Saints aren’t taking any risks in their preseason finale against the Houston Texans. After Friday’s practice session, Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that QB Derek Carr and several starters will sit out of Sunday’s game. Allen stated that Jameis Winston will start at quarterback, with rookie Jake Haener on the rotation circuit to relieve him.
Can’t blame coach Allen for making this decision. Keeping the health meter on high is the best strategy to prepare for the regular season. There isn’t anything to gain from the starters going up against the Houston Texans.
