The New Orleans Saints starting quarterback Derek Carr is shaken up after taking landing hard on the third sack of the game and is helped off the field with the medical staff.
It looked as though Carr’s head hit the ground hard after being brought down by Rashan Gary, but his throwing shoulder hit the ground first. Jameis Winston will warm up and get ready to take the field to close the game as Carr left to the locker room after leaving the medical tent with trainers.
Carr was having a nice start, 13-of-18 passing for 103 yards and a touchdown. Winston and Taysom Hill will be the team’s remaining quarterbacks with Jake Haener serving a suspension. With the lead up to 17 points in the second half, it’s unlikely that the Saints turn to Carr even if he’s able to come back.
FOX Sports sideline reporter Shannon Spake shared an update on the broadcast: “(Carr) is back in the locker room getting X-rays for a shoulder injury. Questionable to return, so they’re taking a look at him right now.”
This is a developing story.
