NFL Network&rsquo;s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported that Carr fractured his non-throwing hand during the Saints&rsquo; 14-11 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.<\/p><p>To address the sudden gap, the Saints have signed quarterback Ben DiNucci, who confirmed the news on social media. While it remains uncertain whether DiNucci will join the active roster or the practice squad, his addition provides some much-needed depth at quarterback as the Saints navigate Carr&rsquo;s absence.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Saints QB Derek Carr expected to miss several weeks with significant fracture in left hand.

He led the league in passing, steering the team to a 7-3 record as a starter.

He&nbsp;bruised&nbsp;an oblique muscle during a Week 5 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs,&nbsp;forcing&nbsp;him&nbsp;out&nbsp;of&nbsp;the next three games.
