Derek Carr Shoulder Injury Updates
Due to an AC sprain on his throwing shoulder that he sustained against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, New Orleans Saints starting quarterback Derek Carr will miss a few games. A non-serious injury was discovered during Carr’s evaluation at a hospital in Green Bay, according to many sources. Following several examinations, there was no extra harm, Ian Rapoport said on social media. The swelling and his level of mobility recovery will affect when he plays. The team’s aircraft return to New Orleans was carrying Carr, according to SNN’s John Hendrix.
During the third quarter, Jameis Winston, the backup quarterback for New Orleans, replaced the injured Carr. If Carr is unable to play against Tampa Bay in Week 4, Winson is anticipated to start for New Orleans.
New Orleans is 2-1 on the year after losing to the Packers 18-17. They have remained competitive with the Atlanta Falcons, who fell to the Detroit Lions 20-6 in the NFC South. On Monday Night Football, 2-0 Tampa Bay hosts 2-0 Philadelphia at home. As of the time of this report, Carolina is 0-2 and is behind Seattle in the fourth quarter.
The Saints acquired Derek Carr throughout the summer to serve as the group’s starting quarterback. On March 6, Carr and New Orleans agreed to a four-year, $150 million contract, with $100 million guaranteed and $60 million fully guaranteed. As the team’s starting quarterback, he is 2-1.
In the 2015 NFL Draft, Tampa Bay selected Jameis Winston as the first overall choice. Heisman Trophy winner in the past, he led Florida State to victory in the FBS National Championship. Winston serves as the team’s backup quarterback for New Orleans. On March 13, EVP and General Manager Mickey Loomis presented him with a $4 million contract extension and incentives up to $4 million. As New Orleans’ starting quarterback, he had a 6-4 record.
