Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Mike White

Sunday, January 4, 3:56 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Hill exited during the third quarter and finished the game with three catches for 32 yards. The 35-year-old's future remains uncertain, and there has been plenty of speculation that he could retire following New Orleans' season finale on Sunday. He received a curtain call of sorts back in Week 16, when he had four catches, 36 receiving yards, 12 carries, 42 receiving yards, and a 38-yard passing touchdown in the Saints' final home game of the season. If this was indeed Hill's final game, he has put the finishing touches on an impressive career that saw him do a little bit of everything on offense.

Per the team, the Carolina Panthers have signed veteran quarterback Mike White from the practice squad to the active roster. Offensive lineman Brady Christensen (Achilles) was placed on IR in a corresponding move. Fortunately, Bryce Young (ankle) got in a full practice on Wednesday. However, that wasn't the case for teammate Andy Dalton (thumb). The 38-year-old picked up a thumb injury, presumably in Carolina's loss to Buffalo in Week 8, that kept him from practicing altogether. White's addition to the roster is likely just precautionary, as Young appears on track to play after a promising start to the week. Still, if Dalton trends in the wrong direction, it'll be White backing up Young when the team takes on the hosting Green Bay Packers this Sunday.
