Siemian was a seventh-round pick by the Broncos out of Northwestern in 2015 and went on to start 25 NFL games with a 13-12 record including a victory with Denver over New Orleans in 2016. He was traded to the Vikings in 2018 and served as a backup with the Jets last season.

Taysom Hill is reportedly set to start at quarterback Sunday for the Saints with Brees sideline while the 28-year old Siemian will be the third string option behind backup Jameis Winston.
