Impact Though the Saints haven't released the results of the MRI that Carr underwent Tuesday, his oblique injury appears to be significant. While he has played through injuries in the past, according to Garafolo, the Saints' athletic training staff is taking the decision out of the quarterback's hands. After Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, the team will host the Broncos in a Thursday night game in Week 7, so Carr is at risk of missing at least those contests, and possibly additional time beyond that. Jake Haener came on in relief for the final drive Monday and would seem to be the top candidate to start in place of Carr, though Garafolo relays that rookie fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler is also under consideration to start.
