Derek Carr

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports there is “at least a chance” Derek Carr (oblique) returns to practice in Week 8.

Rapoport adds “a lot” would have to go right for Carr to be out there against the Chargers. Carr is missing his second consecutive game Thursday evening against the Broncos, and two weeks was considered the bare minimum time he would be out with his side issue. It’s already desperation time for the Saints’ season, so we have little doubt they will try to force the issue with their quarterback next week. We could get an informal practice report as early as Monday.
