Saints sign experienced quarterback after Derek Carr injury

The New Orleans Saints have signed veteran quarterback Ben DiNucci following an injury to Derek Carr, DiNucci announced on social media. A seventh-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2020, he started one game in his rookie year and has since spent time with the Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills, as well as the XFL’s Seattle Sea Dragons.

Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi described Carr’s injury as a “week-to-week” concern, but the development suggests he is unlikely to train this week. Adding DiNucci to the rotation should ensure practices continue as planned with three capable quarterbacks.

Still, we should expect either Spencer Rattler or Jake Haener to get the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders.
