The Saints have already started three different quarterbacks this season. Rookie Ian Book willlikely make it four on "Monday Night Football" against the Dolphins.In the lead-up to New Orleans' Week 16 clash with Miami, the Saints are dealing with a COVID outbreak in the quarterback room. Backup quarterback Patrick Beverley Jersey Trevor Siemian landed on the COVID list and shortly thereafter, current starter Taysom Hill ended up there as well.As such, the Saints are going to have to roll with Book unle s either Siemian or Hillcan clear the NFL's COVID testing protocols before Monday night's game.Luckily, the Saints are one of the few teams in the NFL that actually has a quality fourth quarterback option. They carried four Wesley Johnson Jersey quarterbacks for most of the season before Jameis Winston suffered a season-ending ACL tear. Since then, they have carried three.Here's a look at the Saints' QB depth chart for Week 16, which is looking thin and unproven.NFL COVID TRACKER: Saints QB depth chart1. Ian BookWelcome to the NFL. The 2021 fourth-round pick out of Notre Damehas been inactive for all games during his rookie season. Now, he will be thrown into the fire as a starter against a tough Dolphins defense.Book, 23, had a good career at Notre Dame. He was a three-year starter and served as an effective game manager for the Fighting Irish. He's not the biggest guy in the world at 6-0, 211 pounds, but he Chris Paul Jersey is an accurate pa ser who completed 63.8 percent of his collegiate pa ses for 8,948 yards, 72 touchdowns and just 20 interceptions. He also has good mobility and scrambled for 1,517 yards and 17 touchdowns. Book owns the school record for wins at QB (30).Book played inoneof the Saints' two preseason games their third one was canceled due to a hurricane and completed 9 of 16 pa ses for 126 yards and an interception.MORE: 2. Blake BortlesThe Saints had to scramble to find a backup behind Book with Hill and Siemian in COVID protocol. They settled on Blake Bortles as a short-term replacement.Bortles was a free agent before signing Jerome Robinson Jersey with the Saints and was arguably the best quarterback available on the thin free-agent market. The 29-year-old began his career with the Jaguars and once helped guide them to an AFC Championship Game appearance, but his inconsistent play and turnover woes proved costly. As such, they moved on from him just five seasons after making him the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.Bortles hasn't thrown a pa s since 2019, when he completed 1 of 2 pa ses with the Rams for 3 yards. He has been on the Rams, Broncos and Packers over the last few seasons and served as Jordan Love's backup after Aaron Rodgers and Kurt Benkert both landed on the COVID list for Green Bay earlier this year.Though Bortles hasn't played much in recent years, he has made 73 career starts. So,he has experience that will prove valuable in the event that he is thrust into action.NFL PICKS WEEK 16: | Who is the Saints' emergency quarterback?The Saints have wide receiver Malcolm Perry on their practice squad, so he would probably be the Landry Shamet Jersey emergency quarterback.Perry played quarterbackat Navy and ran the triple option effectively. If it came down to it, he would probably be the Saints' emergency quarterback. He won't be used as the primary backup, however, as the Saints will want to avoid a Kendall Hinton-type situation.
