Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Tuesday that Rattler will continue to take reps with the first team in practice and will be in line to start Sunday against the Raiders if Derek Carr (hand) is unable to play, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Though the left hand fracture that Carr sustained in a Week 14 win over the Giants had been viewed as something that would likely end his season, the veteran quarterback isn't closing the door on returning to the field for either of the Saints' final two games. That said, Rizzi didn't provide any indication that Carr would be ready to practice when the Saints begin Week 17 prep Wednesday, so Rattler still looks to be headed for a second straight start and his fifth of the season. The Saints have gone 0-4 in Rattler's prior four starts, with the rookie signal-caller completing 74 of 129 pass attempts (57.4 percent) for 724 yards (5.6 YPA), one touchdown and three interceptions in those contests. He's also lost three fumbles and has taken 17 sacks in those contests.

Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Carr (hand) is still attempting to come back and play this season, though the quarterback's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders hasn't been decided, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Rizzi confirmed that Spencer Rattler will make a second straight start this weekend if Carr is unable to make enough progress in his recovery from a fracture to his non-throwing hand to play Sunday. With a 5-10 record, the Saints are eliminated from playoff contention, but Carr may have some motivation to play through the hand fracture against the Raiders, with whom he spent the first nine seasons of his career. Carr's involvement in practices this week will likely go a long way into determining whether or not he suits up Sunday.

Rodgers (knee) said Tuesday that he's dealing with an MCL injury, but added that he intends to play in Sunday's game against Buffalo, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Rodgers described the knee injury as a "little" MCL issue and said that he feels "pretty good." The veteran quarterback also stated that his goal is to play in all 17 games this season, so he could be incentivized to push through the knee injury, even though the 4-11 Jets have little at stake over the final two weeks. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich suggested earlier Tuesday that Rodgers' availability to play against Buffalo was more uncertain, though Ulbrich noted that he was still expecting the 41-year-old to play.

Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday that Rudolph will make another start Sunday against Jacksonville, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Rudolph took over the starting job from Will Levis in this past Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Colts and threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns, though he also tossed three interceptions. Despite the uneven performance, Rudolph will stick in the starting role for at least another week, and he'll have a soft matchup against the Jaguars, who rank last in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (263.0) on the season. Meanwhile, Levis will presumably remain Tennessee's backup quarterback after beginning the season as the team's No. 1 signal-caller.

Fields (abdomen) is listed questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chiefs, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Fields missed Saturday's loss to Baltimore due to an abdominal injury, but he could be ready to play on a short week after logging a limited practice session Tuesday. If he can suit up, Fields will back up Russell Wilson at quarterback while potentially handling a few snaps on designed running plays. If Fields is unable to play, however, Kyle Allen is in like to work as Pittsburgh's No. 2 quarterback.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Lock (shoulder) is on track to start Sunday's game against the Colts, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Lock sat out the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Ravens with sore heel and a left elbow injury, but he was cleared to start in this past Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Falcons. He committed three turnovers (two interceptions and one lost fumble) and completed just 22 of 39 pass attempts for 210 yards and one touchdown. Lock hurt his right shoulder in the contest and required an MRI, though imaging apparently revealing nothing too concerning, putting him on track to make a second straight start this weekend, though the shoulder issue could still affect his practice participation.

McKee is currently the Eagles' healthiest quarterback after starter Jalen Hurts (concussion) and top backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) suffered injuries in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders. "Tanner has done a good job in scout team and developmental periods, and so, again, Tanner gives us a lot of confidence," head coach Nick Sirianni said during his press conference Monday, when asked about his comfort with McKee in the event he's needed to play in Week 17 against the Cowboys.

A 2023 sixth-round pick, McKee is in his second season in the Philadelphia organization but is still waiting to make his NFL debut. He's been inactive all season as the emergency No. 3 quarterback, but he could move up one or two rungs pending the statuses of Hurts and Pickett. Per Zach Berman of The Athletic, Hurts remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, while the team didn't have an update on Pickett, who underwent an X-ray on his ribs after taking a hard hit in the fourth quarter Sunday. McKee last saw competition action in the preseason, when he completed 34 of 56 pass attempts (60.7 percent) for 294 yards (5.3 YPA), zero touchdowns and one interception over three games.

Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Tuesday that Rodgers sustained a knee injury in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams, and the veteran quarterback's status for the Jets' Week 17 game in Buffalo is uncertain, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Ulbrich added that he's betting on Rodgers playing this Sunday, but the Jets likely won't have a clearer idea about the 41-year-old's availability until assessing his condition in practices Wednesday through Friday. With the 4-11 Jets eliminated from playoff contention and Rodgers' standing in the organization uncertain heading into next season, it wouldn't be surprising if he ultimately ended up missing the team's final two contests. Tyrod Taylor has served as the backup quarterback all season and would be in line to start Sunday if Rodgers is unable to move past the knee issue.

Rattler completed 15 of 30 passes for 153 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and added five rushes for 28 yards in the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Packers on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

Rattler unsurprisingly struggled in the frigid temperatures of Lambeau Field, but he hung tough while taking three sacks overall. He did give up the ball on one of those takedowns and did so in Packers territory, but the miscue didn't lead to any points for Green Bay. Rattler's other turnover on the night, a late third-quarter interception, likewise was followed by a Packers punt, but it had more opportunity cost associated with it considering it came at the Packers' two-yard line. While Rattler couldn't lead New Orleans to any points, there's seemingly no incentive for interim head coach Darren Rizzi to short-circuit the rookie fifth-round pick's valuable opportunity for reps over the final two games -- especially with a favorable home matchup against the Raiders coming up Week 17 -- even if Derek Carr (hand) is deemed ready to play.

Love completed 16 of 28 pass attempts for 182 yards and a touchdown while taking his only carry for two yards in Monday's 34-0 rout of the Saints.

Love kicked off the scoring for the Packers with a short touchdown pass to Dontayvion Wicks on the game's opening drive. The 26-year-old Love wasn't utilized much for the remainder of the contest with Green Bay's ground game hitting pay dirt thrice in the blowout victory. Love was eventually replaced by backup Malik Willis with a little less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter in order to preserve the starter's health ahead of Sunday's road tilt against Minnesota.
