        Saints HC Dennis Allen said Friday that QB Derek Carr (oblique) has a chance to play in Week 8 and will "very likely" be back at least by Week 9. Carr is scheduled to resume throwing on Saturday. "This is a functionality question," Allen added. We'll track Carr's progress next week. It's unclear if QB Spencer Rattler or QB Jake Haener will start vs. the Chargers next week if Carr remains out. Rattler was knocked out of the Thursday night loss to the Broncos with a hip pointer but will likely be available for Week 8.
