The New Orleans Saints are facing some troubling times as their challenges continue to mount.

In the game on Monday night where they fell 26-13 to the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Derek Carr exited due to an oblique injury incurred in the fourth quarter. Following the game, Carr described his condition as “not good,” indicating that an MRI is scheduled for Tuesday. Prior to his departure, Carr had completed 18 passes out of 28 attempts for 165 yards, along with two touchdowns and one interception, with about six minutes left in the game.

It looks like Carr will be sidelined for more games as the Saints aim to snap their current three-game losing streak.

Saints Quarterback Depth: Who is Filling in for Derek Carr?

This season, the New Orleans Saints have listed three quarterbacks on their active roster:

• Derek Carr
• Jake Haener
• Spencer Rattler

Jake Haener took Carr’s place during the game on Sunday, managing to complete two out of seven passes for 17 yards.

Spencer Rattler could also be a candidate for the starting role, as indicated by Garafolo and Rapoport. The fifth-round rookie from South Carolina was in a competition with Haener for the backup role during training camp, but he has not played so far this season and has only served as an emergency option.
