The New Orleans Saints and their fans are hoping for the best Sunday after all-purpose player Taysom Hill was carted off during the team’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.
However, tests confirmed that the Saints star suffered a torn ACL Sunday:

Hill was injured on a fourth-down play in the fourth quarter. With the Saints facing a 4th-and-1 situation with under five minutes remaining, Hill ran to the left edge, getting sandwiched between a pair of defenders. From this replay, it looked as if Hill took a helmet to the knee:
