Derek Carr has been ruled out for the Saints' final game due to the broken hand he suffered in December. Interim coach Darren Rizzi had left the door open for Carr to return this year.

Carr will miss his fourth straight game after suffering a fracture to his non-throwing hand in a Dec. 8 win over the New York Giants. Though Saints interim coach pushed back against reporting that described Carr's return as unlikely, the quarterback ultimately wasn't able to heal enough in order to play.
