Report: slot receiver Austin Carr to start vs. Bucs

The New Orleans Saints have not released an official inactives list for their home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport suggests one receiver will have a big role:

The prolific #Saints offense will feature a surprise starter today vs. the #Bucs: Slot WR Austin Carr. The former UDFA has played in one game, has zero catches, but impressed enough to earn QB Drew Brees’ trust. A potential fantasy sleeper.

Austin Carr was signed from the New England Patriots during final roster cuts in 2017 and spent the entire season on the Saints’ roster, though he appeared in just one game and did not record a catch.
