The start of New Orleans Saints training camp is still a few weeks away, but there's reason for excitement when it comes to the team's quarterback situation.
Saints quarterback Jameis Winston, who was hurt on Halloween during the team's upset victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was shown on his social media throwing without his knee brace Tuesday morning.

This is notable because Winston was seen with the brace on during Saints OTA's and minicamp last month, as he continued his comeback from knee surgery.
On July 1, on his personal Instagram, Winston was shown lifting weights without the brace as well.
Winston finished with 14 touchdowns and three interceptions in eight games with the Saints in 2021. He went 5-2 as the starter.
He appears on pace to be ready for the season opener. We'll have to wait and see if it's with, or without his knee brace.
