Mims accrued four rushes for 16 yards and caught five of eight targets for 16 yards during Monday's 34-0 defeat to the Packers. The undrafted rookie served as RB2 behind second-year running back Jordan Mims while Alvin Kamara (groin) was inactive. Mims logged season highs in targets and catches, as rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler faced consistent pressure throughout the night and was forced to check down over and over again. The running back still averaged just 3.6 yards per touch, which is on par with his production from the nine previous games that he suited up for this year. With two more games left in the regular season and the Saints already eliminated from the playoffs, Mims could continue to serve as RB2 if Kamara ends up being shut down for the remainder of the year.

Saints Injury Report
Mims accrued four rushes for 16 yards and caught five of eight targets for 16 yards during Monday's 34-0 defeat to the Packers. The undrafted rookie served as RB2 behind second-year running back Jordan Mims while Alvin Kamara (groin) was inactive. Mims logged season highs in targets and catches, as rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler faced consistent pressure throughout the night and was forced to check down over and over again. The running back still averaged just 3.6 yards per touch, which is on par with his production from the nine previous games that he suited up for this year. With two more games left in the regular season and the Saints already eliminated from the playoffs, Mims could continue to serve as RB2 if Kamara ends up being shut down for the remainder of the year.
Grupe did not attempt a field goal or extra point during Monday's 34-0 loss against Green Bay. The injury-riddled Saints offense was stymied from start to finish and committed turnovers on its few opportunities within field-goal range. As a result, Grupe logged zero field-goal attempts for the third time this season. With quarterback Derek Carr (hand) and/or running back Alvin Kamara (groin) likely to miss at least one or two more games, this offense could be too depleted to support any meaninful fantasy production for Grupe over the final two weeks of the season.
Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Tuesday that Kamara (groin) is attempting to return this season and hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Rizzi noted that Kamara met with him earlier Tuesday and let him know that he wants to suit up Sunday, though a decision on the running back's status isn't expected to be made until later in the week, after the Saints get a chance to see how he responds to practice work. While Kamara was sidelined for his first game of the season in Monday's 34-0 loss to the Packers, Kendre Miller stepped in as New Orleans' lead back but was limited to 31 total yards on 10 touches (eight carries, two receptions).
Interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Monday that McCoy does not require surgery to repair an elbow injury that he suffered in New Orleans' 34-0 loss to Green Bay on Monday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. McCoy attempted to play through the injury in the second quarter, but he was taken out of the game for a second time and did not take the field for the second half. While it appears likely that McCoy will miss the Saints' final two games of the regular season, the good news is that he doesn't appear to require a procedure to repair the injury. Shane Lemieux will likely take over at starting center for as long as McCoy is sidelined.
Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Tuesday that Rattler will continue to take reps with the first team in practice and will be in line to start Sunday against the Raiders if Derek Carr (hand) is unable to play, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Though the left hand fracture that Carr sustained in a Week 14 win over the Giants had been viewed as something that would likely end his season, the veteran quarterback isn't closing the door on returning to the field for either of the Saints' final two games. That said, Rizzi didn't provide any indication that Carr would be ready to practice when the Saints begin Week 17 prep Wednesday, so Rattler still looks to be headed for a second straight start and his fifth of the season. The Saints have gone 0-4 in Rattler's prior four starts, with the rookie signal-caller completing 74 of 129 pass attempts (57.4 percent) for 724 yards (5.6 YPA), one touchdown and three interceptions in those contests. He's also lost three fumbles and has taken 17 sacks in those contests.
Interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Tuesday that Patrick will miss the final two games of the regular season due to a knee injury he picked up during Monday's 34-0 loss to the Packers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Patrick suffered the injury on the Saints' final offensive drive of Monday's game. The 31-year-old lineman will be sidelined for the final two regular-season games of 2024, and he is getting second opinions to determine whether surgery is required for his injury, per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Patrick started in 10 of 11 games and played center and left guard.
Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Carr (hand) is still attempting to come back and play this season, though the quarterback's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders hasn't been decided, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Rizzi confirmed that Spencer Rattler will make a second straight start this weekend if Carr is unable to make enough progress in his recovery from a fracture to his non-throwing hand to play Sunday. With a 5-10 record, the Saints are eliminated from playoff contention, but Carr may have some motivation to play through the hand fracture against the Raiders, with whom he spent the first nine seasons of his career. Carr's involvement in practices this week will likely go a long way into determining whether or not he suits up Sunday.
Johnson brought in both targets for 27 yards in the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Packers on Monday night. Johnson tied fellow tight end Foster Moreau and Dante Pettis for the team lead in receptions on a night where Spencer Rattler recorded only 15 completions. Johnson has hit the 50-yard mark only once all season, leaving him with little upside irrespective of which quarterback is under center for a Week 17 home matchup against the Raiders.
