New Orleans Saints rule out QB Jameis Winston, will start Andy Dalton for London game

The New Orleans Saints have ruled out quarterback Jameis Winston for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings in London.

Winston had been listed as doubtful as he has been dealing with a number of injuries since the preseason, with a transverse fracture in his back being the biggest issue. He has missed all of the team's practices in England.

Andy Dalton will start in place of Winston, marking the third time Dalton will start a game in London, but his first regular-season start for the Saints.

Information from ESPN's Katherine Terrell was used in this report.
