Inactive Thursday Carr (oblique) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Broncos.
Impact The Saints left the door open for Carr to be available Week 7, perhaps as the team's emergency third quarterback, when they listed him as doubtful for Thursday's game. Instead, he'll miss a second consecutive contest due to the strained left oblique that he suffered Week 5 at Kansas City. Rookie fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler will start in place of Carr, while Jake Haener backs him up. Carr's next chance for game action is Sunday, Oct. 27 at the Chargers.

Doubtful for TNF Carr (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Broncos, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Carr hasn't been able to practice since he suffered a left oblique strain during a Week 5 loss at Kansas City, but the Saints left the door ajar, however slightly, for him to return to action Thursday. A doubtful designation typically results in inactive status on game day, but his status nonetheless will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Carr misses a second consecutive contest, rookie fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler will get another start under center for New Orleans.

Not at practice Tuesday Carr (oblique) wasn't on the field for Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Carr's continued absence from practice comes as little surprise while he tends to a left oblique strain, an injury he suffered in the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs. While Carr remains likely to avoid a stint on injured reserve, he's still expected to miss multiple games due to the injury, and he won't be helped by the Saints facing a quick turnaround for Week 7 with a Thursday night matchup with Denver. Expect the Saints to officially rule Carr out for Week 7 following the release of Wednesday's injury report, with rookie Spencer Rattler likely on track to make a second consecutive start.
OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Non-participant on practice estimate Carr (oblique) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Impact Carr's projected lack of activity to begin Week 7 prep comes as no surprise considering he's expected to miss multiple games due to a strained oblique that he picked up Week 5. Rookie Spencer Rattler filled in for Carr under center during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers, completing 22 of 40 passes for 243 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while taking four carries for 27 yards. Carr's availability for Thursday's contest against the Broncos could receive clarity by the time the Saints post their final injury report of the week Wednesday.

Officially ruled out for Week 6 Carr (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Impact Carr sustained a left oblique strain in the fourth quarter of this past Monday's loss at Kansas City. After undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, he received a prognosis of multiple weeks, and while an IR stint isn't considered likely, per coach Dennis Allen, Carr will miss the first of what should be many games this weekend. The Saints are rolling with rookie fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler at quarterback Sunday and perhaps for as long as Carr is sidelined.

Officially, Carr didn't practice Wednesday, per Hendrix, and Allen also relayed to Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune that Carr will retain the No. 1 gig once he's healthy enough to play again.
