Saints Rule Out Carr, Kamara for Raiders Game

The New Orleans Saints will be without quarterback Derek Carr and running back Alvin Kamara for their Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, significantly impacting their chances of victory. Carr, who injured his left hand in Week 14, and Kamara, who has a groin injury, were both ruled out following Friday's injury report. Rookie Spencer Rattler is set to start in Carr's place, marking his fifth start of the season. The Saints have struggled in recent games, including a shutout loss to the Green Bay Packers, and have been unable to replace Carr's influence effectively. Kamara leads the team in rushing and receiving, complicating matters further for the Saints in this matchup. This game holds less significance as both teams are already eliminated from playoff contention, but it will be a crucial test for the Saints' depth and adaptability.
