Derek Carr released from hospital, rejoins Saints teammates for flight home

Here’s some small good news: Derek Carr has been released from a Green Bay hospital and joined his New Orleans Saints teammates for their flight home after Sunday’s loss to the Packers, per Nola.com’s Luke Johnson.

Carr went down with an injured shoulder midway through the game at Lambeau Field and was initially evaluated at the stadium’s X-ray room before being taken to a local hospital for further testing. Hopefully this is a positive sign for his status, but we’ll have to wait and see.

If nothing else it’s good to see he’s been cleared to travel home to New Orleans where he can focus on healing up at the team facility. The exact nature of Carr’s injury and his timetable to return have not been disclosed.

This is a developing story.
