NEW ORLEANS - Backup quarterback Andy Dalton will start under center for the Saints for the second straight week as Jameis Winston continues to recover from a back injury.

Coach Dennis Allen said Friday that the team plans to start Dalton on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Allen said receiver Michael Thomas is also expected to miss his second straight game.
