In the world of American football, the New Orleans Saints have been facing some tough challenges with their quarterback situation. Coach Dennis Allen provided an update on star quarterback Derek Carr’s recovery from an oblique injury, stating that Carr is “progressing well.” This news comes as a relief to Saints fans who have missed seeing Carr on the field for the last two games.
According to Allen, Carr has been participating in throwing sessions to test his readiness to return to the game. Allen explained, “He had a throwing session today, he’ll have another throwing session tomorrow, and see where we’re at.” The Saints are hopeful that Carr will be back in action soon, but until then, they are relying on rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler to lead the team.
Despite the tough losses in the games that Rattler has started, Allen expressed confidence in the young quarterback. He stated, “The plan would be to stay with Spencer, and I think Spencer has done some good things.” Allen acknowledged that there have been some rookie mistakes and emphasized the need for Rattler to protect the football better. However, he also highlighted Rattler’s strengths, noting his ability to throw accurately and create plays with his feet.
As the Saints prepare to face the Chargers on Sunday, they know they need to step up their game regardless of who is starting at quarterback. The team is determined to break their five-game losing streak and turn their season around. The pressure is on for Carr or Rattler to deliver a strong performance and lead the team to victory. Saints fans will be watching closely as they hope for a much-needed win.
