Rookie Spencer Rattler will start at quarterback when the New Orleans Saints host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday.

Rattler will start in place of Derek Carr, who is expected to miss multiple weeks after sustaining an oblique injury in Monday's 26-13 loss to the host Kansas City Chiefs.

Rattler was selected in the fifth round of April's draft.
