While this week is still up in the air, the Saints may get their starting quarterback back in the lineup sooner than expected.
There is a slim chance that the New Orleans Saints may get their starting quarterback back for their next game. Derek Carr has missed the last two contests with an oblique injury suffered in the fourth quarter of a Week 5 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
It doesn't seem likely that Carr will be back in the lineup to face the Chargers. When the team returns to practice this week, that decision will probably be clear within the first couple days. Allen also said that his return will also depend on ''his ability to rotate his torso to be able to throw the football.''
This season, Carr and the offense got off to a torrid start by scoring 91 points in the first two weeks. Carr threw five touchdown passes in those outings while completing 77% of his attempts. In five games before being hurt, Carr had a 70.3% completion percentage with 8 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, and 989 yards through the air.
