- Update: The New Orleans Saints have ruled Derek Carr out for the remainder of the game with a shoulder injury. The quarterback is now being transported to the hospital for further evaluation.
Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints are looking to move to 3-0 on the season. It was looking good through halftime with New Orleans leading the homestanding Green Bay Packers by the score of 17-0.
However, that’s not going to be the story from Lambeau Field. Carr exited in the third quarter after being on the receiving end of a brutal hit from Packers edge rusher Rashan Gary.
Carr was down on the turf and in a lot of pain before ultimately heading to the medical tent.
After a few minutes in the tent, Carr ended up making his way into the locker room with team medical officials. At this point, Carr is considered questionable to return with a shoulder injury. But you could tell that the Pro Bowl quarterback was in a ton of pain.
Derek Carr stats (2023): 64% completion, 533 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT
Despite less than stellar numbers heading into Sunday’s game, Carr has his new Saints team on the verge of their first 3-0 start since all the way back in 2023. He signed a four-year, $150 million contract with New Orleans this past offseason after spending his first nine NFL seasons with the Raiders.
With Carr sidelined, veteran Jameis Winston replaced him under center.
