Could have 3-to-4 week trial
The Saints expect Rattler to start for up to the next four games while Derek Carr (oblique) is out, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.
Earlier the Saints suggested that Carr was a week-to-week proposition, so this report just gives a little more clarity to that timeframe.
