NEW ORLEANS — Saints quarterback Derek Carr suffered an oblique injury in Monday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, a source confirmed to ESPN.

An MRI taken Tuesday confirmed the injury was to Carr's oblique, according to the source. The quarterback had said he thought he suffered the injury while throwing an incomplete pass toward the end of the 26-13 loss but needed to have additional testing to confirm.

The source wouldn't put a timeline on how long Carr will be sidelined. Oblique injuries typically lead to multiweek absences.

The Saints play two games in the 10 days — Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then Oct. 17 against the Denver Broncos on «Thursday Night Football.» If Carr cannot play, then either rookie Spencer Rattler or Jake Haener would take his place.
