The Saints can rebound in Week 14, but there's plenty of questions in front of them.

After a disappointing outcome against the Rams, the Saints (4-8) are back to the drawing board for Week 14. They're clinging to a shot at the NFC South, but their outlook looks grim. New Orleans will travel up to the East Coast to take on the Giants (2-10) this Sunday, as the season winds down for the black and gold. Here's a look at some of the big storylines to follow this week before the team hits the field.

Saints Storylines to Follow In Week 14:

Navigating Through Injuries

Taysom Hill's major knee injury will put him on the sideline for the rest of the season and beyond. However, it doesn't stop there. New Orleans lost their starting left guard Nick Saldiveri to a knee injury, so we'll have to see where he's at. Tyrann Mathieu exited with a shoulder injury on Sunday, but figures to return against the Giants. It'd be a good week to get Erik McCoy (groin) and Lucas Patrick (ankle) back in practice, and we'll see where they're at during the first practice on Wednesday. ...

INDIANAPOLIS — New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis sees 11-year veteran quarterback Derek Carr as “a guy we can win with, and we’re excited about it.”

Loomis made those comments on Wednesday to a small group of New Orleans-based reporters who traveled to Indianapolis for the NFL scouting combine.

Carr has two years remaining on the four-year, $150 million contract that brought him to New Orleans as a free agent in 2023.

He is 14-13 as a starter in two seasons with the Saints, having gone 5-5 during an injury-riddled 2024 campaign. The Saints went 5-12 last season, their...

There has been a lot of rumors swirling regarding the future of Derek Carr with the New Orleans Saints. Many thought that with the new regime, there could be a major change at the quarterback position, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Carr’s two-year career in New Orleans has been disappointing to say the least. In 2023, Carr was solid, throwing for 3,878 yards, 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions while leading the Saints to a 9-8 record and missing the playoffs by one...

The New Orleans Saints officially hired Doug Nussmeier as their new offensive coordinator last week. The former Philadelphia Eagles QB coach has followed Kellen Moore around for his last three stops and now ends up in New Orleans with a promotion.

Nussmeier was the obvious favorite for the job ever since speculation of Moore becoming the Saints next head coach started swirling around on social media. Now that he officially has the job, I thought we could take a look at some things to know about the Saints new OC.

As most of you know by now, Nussmeier is a former college and NFL...

The New Orleans Saints have undergone a lot of changes in recent weeks after bringing in head coach Kellen Moore on February 10.

Since then, the former offensive coordinator has been assembling his staff, finding a good mix of people he’s worked with and people who would bring a ton of benefit to his team.

First, let’s look at the coaches he brought with him from the Philadelphia Eagles:

Moore brought in Doug Nussmeier, who played quarterback for the Saints in the 90s and his son is currently heading into his senior season at LSU. Ted Rath is also coming to New Orleans as the director...
