The Facts: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Friday that Winston is "about where the Saints want him to be" despite having yet to regain the mobility of his former self.

Diehards Line: Rapoport referenced last season's ACL recovery of Joe Burrow as a similar situation where the Bengals QB didn't get his legs back until about a month into the 2021 season. Should both Michael Thomas, who is making strides in practcice, and Winston get back to where they once were, the Saints offense has great potential to maintain its prowess following the exit of Sean Payton.
