Taysom Hill was injured on a scary hit to the head from William Jackson III in the second quarter of the Saints vs. Washington game.
Hill, who was running a route as a receiver on the play, attempted to catch a ball thrown by the Saints quarterback Jameis Winston. He dropped the ball and fell to the ground, and as he was falling, Jackson ran right into his head. Hill remained on the field for a few minutes until he was carted off. Hill was able to get on the cart under his own power.

Jackson was flagged for a personal foul for the play.
Saints fans on social media called for Jackson to be ejected after the hit, claiming Hill was defenseless and the hit was unnecessary since Hill didn’t even have the ball in his hands. Others thought the injury was just “unlucky” timing since Hill was falling over already and Jackson had no way of stopping his charge that quickly.
