Jameis Winston was limited this week with back and ankle injuries so this isn’t a big surprise.
Dalton, 34, is a former second-round pick of the Bengals back in 2011. He was entering the final year of his seven-year, $97.09 million contract, which included $17 million guaranteed when Cincinnati cut him loose.
Dalton signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys after the draft as a backup. The Bears later signed Dalton to a contract for the 2021 season as their starter before eventually turning to rookie Justin Fields.
Dalton joined the Saints this past March on a one-year deal.
In 2022, Dalton has appeared in two games for the Saints and completed 69.2 percent of his passes for 423 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
