AUSTIN CARR NEWS

Waived from practice squad The Saints waived Carr from the team's practice squad Saturday.

Impact After appearing in six matchups with the Saints in the 2020 season, Carr was let go from the practice squad and won't have the chance to suit up in Sunday's divisional-round matchup against Tampa Bay. The receiver caught three of his four targets for 27 yards and one touchdown during his time with the team.

Sent to waivers The Saints waived Carr on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Carr was a healthy scratch for the Saints' wild-card win over the Bears on Sunday. The 27-year-old wide receiver has played in 27 NFL games over four years with the Saints, translating into 13 receptions (18 targets) for 135 yards and three touchdowns. If Carr clears waivers, he'll likely re-sign with the Saints' practice squad.

Not suiting up Sunday Carr (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bears.

Impact Carr will watch the first round of playoffs in street clothes after suiting up for each of the Saints' final two regular-season games. His demotion comes as a result of both Michael Thomas (ankle) and Deonte Harris (neck) returning from injured reserve this week.

Scores only touchdown of season Carr caught his only target for an 11-yard touchdown in the Saints' 33-7 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact After spending most of the season on the practice squad, Carr was promoted to the active roster and scored his only touchdown of the year. He ends 2020 with just three receptions for 27 yards and a touchdown. If Carr returns to New Orleans in 2021, he should enjoy a similar role.

Pulled up to active roster Carr was elevated to the Saints' active roster Thursday, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.

Impact Given his activation for New Orleans' Christmas Day matchup against the Vikings, Carr stands to contribute his fifth game appearance of 2020 during Week 16. The 26-year-old has hardly produced as a pass catcher in his previous outings, reeling in two passes for 16 yards on a total of 49 offensive snaps. Even still, Carr provides familiar depth to the wide receiving corps and special-teams unit for an important in-conference game.

Moves back to practice squad Carr reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

He's been up and down from the practice squad throughout the 2020 campaign, thus far producing two catches for 16 yards over four appearances.

Returned to practice squad Carr reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Carr was able to haul in his only target for a 10-yard gain during Sunday's overtime triumph against Chicago, but he's been placed back on the practice squad as New Orleans waits to see how the injury report unfolds pertaining to the wide receiver group. Michael Thomas (hamstring) still has not played since Week 1, while Marquez Callaway (ankle) and Emmanuel Sanders (reserve/COVID-19 list) are currently dealing with issues of their own at the position.

One catch in Week 8 victory Carr caught his lone target for 10 yards in the Saints' 26-23 OT win over the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Carr made his way back to the active roster with so many injuries in the receiving corps, though an expanded opportunity led to just one target Sunday. In two games played, Carr has hauled in both of his targets for 16 yards, and he can safely remain on the waiver wire in even the deepest leagues.

Shifts to active roster The Saints elevated Carr to the active roster Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact The Saints' wide receiver corps has been torched by injury, as Michael Thomas (hamstring), Marquez Callaway (ankle) and Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) have all been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Bears. Carr and Juwan Johnson were both elevated Saturday while Tommylee Lewis signed with the active roster, and all three figure to have a role behind Tre'Quan Smith and Deonte Harris. Carr suited up last week and caught his lone target for six yards against the Panthers.

Reverts to practice squad Carr reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Carr was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's win over the Panthers and made his first catch of the season, but he won't be sticking on the active roster. The 26-year-old could be promoted again if the availability of Michael Thomas (hamstring), Marquez Callaway (leg) and Emmanuel Sanders (illness) remains in question.

OCTOBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

First catch of season Carr caught his only target for six yards in the Saints' 27-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact After being promoted to the active roster Saturday, Carr saw his first action of the season Sunday, though he failed to make much of an impact. As long as Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders are out, Carr should continue to see the field, and he may see his role expand if Marquez Callaway (leg) is limited in Week 8.

OCTOBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Officially called up The Saints elevated Carr to the active roster Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact This move was expected because Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) has already been ruled out and Emmanuel Sanders (illness) is on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Both Carr and Juwan Johnson were called up to the active roster and will serve as depth behind Tre'Quan Smith, Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway.
