Taysom Hill's position designation has changed from tight end to quarterback.

The Saints appear to be considering Hill for a spot on the quarterback depth chart.

This change enables Hill to be on the active roster as an emergency quarterback.

The idea is that Carr would be the first-string quarterback, with Hill as the backup.

Winston or Haener would potentially fill the emergency third quarterback role.

The emergency quarterback can only play if Carr and Hill are unavailable due to injury or ejection.

Hill can still play as a tight end when needed, but not in an emergency quarterback role.
