NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints held a competition all summer to find out what they had in both of their backup quarterbacks. The Saints have played coy about who actually won the competition, listing Derek Carr's backup as Spencer Rattler OR Jake Haener on the depth chart.

Now they will likely have to show their true hand on Sunday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after Carr went down with an oblique injury on "Monday Night Football." A source told ESPN an MRI confirmed Carr's injury but wouldn't put a timeline on how long he will be sidelined.
