Report: Saints QB Jake Haener (oblique) out 'couple of weeks'

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jake Haener will miss "a couple of weeks" after sustaining an oblique strain, ESPN reported Thursday.
Haener suffered the injury while throwing extra passes during Wednesday's OTA practice.
Per ESPN, an MRI revealed a strain but no tear of the oblique for Haener, who is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.
He likely will be involved in a three-way competition with rookie Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler for the starter's role. Shough was selected by the Saints in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft last month, while Rattler was a fifth-round pick in 2024.
Derek Carr, the team's starting quarterback the last two seasons, announced his retirement on May 10 due to a right shoulder injury.
Haener, 26, completed 18 of 39 passes for 226 yards with a touchdown and an interception in eight games (one start) last season. He was selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
