New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen revealed that Derek Carr is expected to return to practice on Wednesday and is "optimistic" about the quarterback's opportunity to return in Week 9.
Carr hasn't played since Week 5 due to an oblique injury.
He's been replaced by rookie Spencer Rattler under center, but the Saints have still continued a six-game losing streak following a 26-8 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
