Hill walked off the field under his own power with the help of New Orleans’ training staff and went directly to the blue medical tent. After which the Saints do-it-all weapon, made his way to the tunnel, left cleat in-hand.
Hill didn’t return to the game after starting 7-9 through the air, throwing for over 100 yards and a touchdown. He also added 18 yards on the ground before his early exit.
According to Mike Triplett of ESPN.com, Taysom Hill is expected to have two surgeries. One to install hardware that will help repair the Lisfranc injury. Followed by a smaller procedure to remove those instruments.
Sean Payton said Taysom Hill is expected to need surgery to repair the Lisfranc injury in his left foot, then need a smaller surgery later to remove the hardware. He didn’t have a projected timetable for recovery.

It’s fitting that the Saints season ends as it began, tumultuous and injury-plagued. Hopefully Hill can recover quickly from his operations and be back on the field making plays in the bayou next season.
