NFL news, live updates: Spencer Rattler takes over for Derek Carr; Jets fire Robert Saleh

Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is reportedly expected to miss multiple weeks with a back injury and could even land on injured reserve. He would miss at least four weeks in the latter scenario.

With Derek Carr out multiple weeks with an oblique injury, the Saints announced Wednesday they are starting fifth-round rookie Spencer Rattler this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The 49ers and Seahawks are both dealing with notable injuries ahead of their NFC West matchup Thursday night. But George Kittle and Fred Warner are a go for San Francisco.

In addition to naming a new starting quarterback, the Raiders placed starting defensive tackle Christian Wilkins on injured reserve. He’s out indefinitely after having surgery to repair a jones fracture (foot) suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Broncos. A tough blow for the Raiders defensive front.

Aidan O’Connell will start at quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6 in place of Gardner Minshew.

Head coach Antonio Pierce announced the decision on Wednesday. The Raiders are making the change after a 2-3 start, including a Week 5 loss to the AFC West-rival Denver Broncos.

Specifics about Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice’s knee injury still aren’t known, but this latest report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter is a great sign.

We’ll know more on Tuesday.

After a one-game suspension for “conduct detrimental to the team,” the Green Bay Packers expect that wide receiver Romeo Doubs will be back with them on Wednesday.

Doubs skipped practice twice last week for “personal reasons,” and was then suspended for their game on Sunday against the Rams.

While he didn’t get into specifics on Monday, Packers coach Matt LaFleur thinks this will be the end of it.

When he’s healthy, Anthony Richardson will be starting in Indianapolis.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Richardson “is our starting quarterback,” according to ESPN’s Stephen Holder. His comments came after backup Joe Flacco threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns in their loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. Flacco has also completed 75% of his passes this season, significantly better than the 50.6% that Richardson is completing.

But regardless, Richardson will be the team’s starting quarterback once he’s recovered from his oblique injury — something he’s optimistic about doing in time for their matchup this week against the Tennessee Titans.
