According to Jeff Duncan, the Saints are placing QB Trevor Siemian on the COVID-19 list.
Duncan adds the Saints are expected to place multiple players on the list today.
Siemian, 29, is a former seventh-round pick of the Broncos back in 2015. Denver traded him to the Vikings in 2018 for a fifth-round pick.
Siemian played out the final year of his four-year, $2.33 million contract before agreeing to a one-year contract with the Jets worth $2 million.
He was later brought in by the Titans in 2020 to compete for the backup quarterback job but was eventually waived and added to the team’s practice squad. The Saints later signed Siemian to their active roster following an injury to Drew Brees.
He signed with the Saints’ practice squad last year and re-signed to a one-year deal this offseason. He was later added to the Saints practice squad coming out of the preseason before signing him to the active roster.
In 2021, Siemian has appeared in five games and completed 57.2 percent of his passes for 1,083 yards, nine touchdowns and three interceptions. He also rushed seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown.
