Saints' Taysom Hill: Compiles 60 total yards in loss
Taysom Hill secured four of five targets for 41 yards, rushed five times for 19 yards and a touchdown and threw an incompletion on his only pass attempt in the New Orleans Saints' 23-22 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.Hill filled his usual multi-purpose role and found his way to new season highs in receptions and receiving yards partly due to the exit of Chris Olave with a concussion in the first quarter. Hill also recorded his third rushing touchdown of the season on a seven-yard run in the second quarter, and he fell just short of reaching the 20-yard mark on the ground for the third straight game. The versatile veteran could see his involvement as a pass catcher remain slightly elevated during a Week 10 home matchup against the Falcons if Olave isn't able to clear concussion protocol in time for the contest.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Logs six touches Week 8
Taysom Hill gathered in two of four targets for 21 yards to go along with four rushes for 20 yards during Sunday's 26-8 loss against the Chargers. He also completed his lone passing attempt for three yards.Hill logged a season high in targets during his first game back from a rib injury suffered Week 4. In his first three games this season, the 34-year-old was the New Orleans Saints' No. 2 rushing option behind Alvin Kamara. It looks like he took on a bigger role in the passing game Sunday, as he tied for third on the team in targets behind Chris Olave (14) and Kamara (11). Hill's non-traditional role makes his production rather hard to predict, but his value as a rusher in the red zone combined with the team's lack of weapons should provide him some notable scoring chances when he's healthy. He'll look to make an impact as both a rusher and receiver during next week's game versus Carolina on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Logs full practice Thursday
Taysom Hill (rib) practiced fully Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.This marks Hill's first uncapped session since he emerged from Week 4 action with rib fractures, thereby paving the way for him to return to action Sunday at the Chargers. Fellow TE Juwan Johnson (shoulder) has been limited in practice so far this week, so there's a chance Hill could act as the New Orleans Saints' top option at the position if the former doesn't gain clearance to suit up Week 8.

Taysom Hill (rib) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.Hill didn't practice during preparation for Weeks 5 and 6 and sat out both contests as a result of multiple rib fractures, so his projected activity level to begin this week at least is a positive sign for a banged-up New Orleans Saints offense that could be missing Derek Carr (oblique), Alvin Kamara (hand), Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) on Thursday against the Broncos.

Saints' Taysom Hill: Ruled out
Taysom Hill (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.Had he been healthy enough to play, Hill might have taken on a larger role than usual with Spencer Rattler filling in for Derek Carr (oblique).
