With Derek Carr sidelined for multiple weeks with an oblique injury, the New Orleans Saints are turning to rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Another rookie quarterback is getting his first NFL start after New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen announced Spencer Rattler will start Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Allen’s usual starter, Derek Carr, injured an oblique in the Saints’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on 'Monday Night Football,' and he won’t be ready to face their NFC South rival. When Carr went down, it wasn’t Rattler who was backing him up in Kansas City.
But Allen and the Saints want to see what the rookie can do after a solid preseason. Rattler went 20-for-38 for 202 yards and one touchdown pass during the preseason, and the team liked his performance. But Rattler took a backseat behind Haener. SAINTS QB DEREK CARR LIKELY SIDELINED FOR MULTIPLE WEEKS WITH OBLIQUE INJURY: REPORTS Rattler was a fifth-round pick by the Saints in this year’s draft, and he will become the fifth rookie quarterback to start a game this year.
