The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be facing the New Orleans Saints in Week 18 as their regular season finale. A win for the Bucs secures them a spot in the playoffs as it would win them the NFC South. A loss would mean they would have to rely on the Carolina Panthers to upset the Atlanta Falcons, which isn’t likely.
We are checking in on their injury report to gauge how much of a threat the Saints pose to the Bucs in Week 18.
Derek Carr injury update
The New Orleans Saints have had issues all year in regard to Derek Carr and the health of their quarterback. Carr being out has meant the Saints have had to resort to a revolving door of rookie Spencer Rattler and second-year quarterback Jake Haener. Rattler has played the majority of games and has a record of 0-5 since he made his NFL debut against the Bucs in October.
The Bucs have a lot tipping in their favor as they get a familiar rookie to face for the Saints.
