Saints to Start Rookie QB Spencer Rattler Against Buccaneers

With Derek Carr sidelined by an oblique injury, Spencer Rattler will make his NFL debut as the Saints' starting quarterback.

Derek Carr is expected to miss multiple games due to an oblique injury sustained during Monday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Spencer Rattler, a fifth-round draft pick from South Carolina, was chosen to start over Jake Haener, who replaced Carr in the last game.
Rattler gained early attention from the Netflix series 'QB1: Beyond the Lights' and had a notable college career at Oklahoma and South Carolina.
During the preseason, Rattler completed 20 of 38 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown without any interceptions.
Rattler becomes the fifth rookie quarterback to start in the NFL this season, joining Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix, and Drake Maye.
