New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is set to miss several games due to an oblique injury sustained during a recent loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Reports indicate that Carr will likely be sidelined for the upcoming matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the following game against the Denver Broncos. There is a possibility he could return by Week 8, but the Saints' bye week is not until Week 12, which could impact the team's performance in the interim.

• Derek Carr's injury could significantly affect the Saints' offensive strategy in the coming weeks.
• The Saints will need to rely on their backup quarterback until Carr returns.
