Derek Carr, the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, has been struggling with a hand injury that has kept him out of practice and games. With the season coming to a close, his ability to return is uncertain, and his contract situation adds another layer of complexity to his future with the team. As the Saints prepare for their upcoming game against the Raiders, Spencer Rattler is set to continue as the starting quarterback in Carr's absence.

• Derek Carr is unlikely to play again this season due to a hand injury.
• His contract situation may be affected by his inability to pass a physical by March 17.
