New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston left the team's training camp practice early Monday morning with what coach Dennis Allen described as a foot injury. 

"He kind of tweaked his foot a little bit," Allen said. "He went in for some evaluations. I don't have any update on that, but (he) was kind of rolling out, I think it was in the seven-on-seven period where he kind of felt it tweak a little bit, so we wanted to go in and get him evaluated." 

Allen went on to an appearance on the NFL Network, which was live on site at Saints training camp Monday, and said that Winston rolled his ankle.

A Saints spokesman later clarified that Winston's injury was indeed to his foot, and not his ankle. 

Winston has participated in every practice thus far in training camp, despite the fact that he suffered a season-ending torn ACL last October. He has been practicing with a bulky brace on his left knee, but has not shown any restrictions. 

In his absence, backup quarterback Andy Dalton worked with the first-team offense for the full team periods, completing 9 of his 15 passes during red zone and two-minute situations.

In seven starts with the Saints last season, Winston threw for 14 touchdowns against three interceptions, finishing the season with a career-best 102.8 passer rating.
