Derek Carr

Derek Carr (oblique) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 9 against the Panthers.

Carr is good to go after missing three games with the oblique injury. He returns to a team without Rashid Shaheed or rookie wideout Bub Means. The Saints’ offensive line, on the other hand, is trending in the right direction health-wise. Carr’s pace had cooled dramatically before he went down in Week 5, but a date with the Panthers defense should get him back on track in his Week 9 return. He sits at the top of the QB2 ranks this week.
