An 11-year veteran, Carr has missed only two regular season games because of injury and started all 17 contests for the Saints last year, his first with the team. Through five games this year, Carr has completed 70.3% of his passes for 989 yards with eight touchdowns and four interceptions.

However, the Saints also have rookie fifth-round quarterback Spencer Rattler at their disposal, leading fans to wonder who would start in Carr's absence. On Wednesday afternoon, New Orleans' head coach Dennis Allen announced that Rattler will draw the start in Week 6 when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
