After spending most of the season on the practice squad, Carr was promoted to the active roster and scored his only touchdown of the year. He ends 2020 with just three receptions for 27 yards and a touchdown. If Carr returns to New Orleans in 2021, he should enjoy a similar role.

Saints' Austin Carr: Pulled up to active roster
Carr was elevated to the Saints' active roster Thursday, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.
Given his activation for New Orleans' Christmas Day matchup against the Vikings, Carr stands to contribute his fifth game appearance of 2020 during Week 16. The 26-year-old has hardly produced as a pass catcher in his previous outings, reeling in two passes for 16 yards on a total of 49 offensive snaps. Even still, Carr provides familiar depth to the wide receiving corps and special-teams unit for an important in-conference game.

Saints' Austin Carr: One catch in Week 8 victory
Carr caught his lone target for 10 yards in the Saints' 26-23 OT win over the Bears on Sunday.
