New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has been ruled out for Week 16 due to a hand injury. Interim coach Darren Rizzi stated that Carr hasn't made enough progress in recovering from a fracture in his left hand sustained in Week 14. With Carr sidelined for a second consecutive game, Spencer Rattler will start against the Green Bay Packers, while Jake Haener will be the backup. Additionally, Carr's future with the Saints is uncertain, especially concerning his contract guarantees for 2025.

• Derek Carr's hand injury continues to keep him off the field.
• Spencer Rattler will take over as the starting quarterback for the Saints in Carr's absence.
