The New Orleans Saints have made a big move for their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They have announced that quarterback Derek Carr will be starting in place of injured starter Drew Brees. This is a huge development for the Saints as they look to stay in contention for the NFC South title.
Carr has been out since week three with a shoulder injury, but he has been cleared to play and is expected to be ready for Sunday’s game. This is great news for the Saints, as they have been struggling without Brees and need a spark to get back on track.
Carr is a veteran quarterback who has had success in the NFL. He has thrown for over 4,000 yards in three of his last four seasons and has a career passer rating of 87.3. He also has experience playing in the NFC South, having spent the past four seasons with the Oakland Raiders.
The Saints are hoping that Carr can provide some stability at the quarterback position and help them get back on track. He is familiar with the offense and should be able to make quick decisions and get the ball out quickly. He also has the ability to make plays with his feet, which could be a big boost for the Saints’ offense.
It remains to be seen how Carr will perform in his first start for the Saints, but it is certainly an exciting development for the team. With Carr starting, the Saints have a chance to get back in the race for the NFC South title and make a run at the playoffs. It will be interesting to see how Carr performs against a tough Tampa Bay defense and if he can help lead the Saints to victory.
