The New Orleans Saints will be starting Spencer Rattler against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which we knew after Derek Carr sustained an oblique injury that had a somewhat flexible timeline tied to it. Now, we have some clarity, as Jay Glazer of FOX Sports has reported Rattler is expected to start for 3 to 4 weeks in the wake of Carr’s injury.
With this the case, we could see Rattler starting the following games in that span of time:
- Week 6 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Week 7 vs. Denver Broncos
- Week 8 at Los Angeles Chargers
- Week 9 at Carolina Panthers
Prior to the Week 6 slate of games, these teams combined for a 9-10 record total, so it could provide Rattler with a good chance to prove himself and show that he may be the future of the Saints franchise. First up though, a divisional matchup with a tough team in the Buccaneers.
