Here’s a look at our stories from Thursday. Rattler review With Derek Carr set to return this week, it means the end of Spencer Rattler’s time as a starter. Columnist Jeff Duncan looks back at Rattler’s three starts and tells you what we learned. Players-only meeting update There have been some meetings after the Saints’ loss to the Chargers. But those have involved Dennis Allen and the captains. Cam Jordan gave an update on the chances of a players-only meeting taking place sometimes soon. Beta writer Matt Paras has the details here.

That would be safety Ugo Amadi, who attended the same high school as Dodgers superstar outfielder Mookie Betts. I caught up with Amadi about it as he reflected on his time with Betts at their Nashville school. Olave head gear Receiver Chris Olave has had a history with concussions. Will that cause him to start wearing a protective Guardian Cap? Our Luke Johnson caught up with Olave to see. Banged up The Saints’ injury report wasn’t great Thursday, especially for the secondary.
