This isn’t good. New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr injured himself diving for a first down against the New York Giants. He was replaced by Jake Haener late in the fourth quarter.
Carr tried to jump over a couple of defenders after taking the ball himself on a zone read and cutting to the outside, but he fell awkwardly and landed with his weigh on his left, non-throwing arm. Depending on how the limb folded under him it could be a wrist or forearm issue, but we won’t speculate further.
We can’t rule out a concussion, either. The NFL’s independent neurological consultant met with Carr inside the sideline’s blue medical tent and escorted him to the locker room for further evaluation. Carr’s head struck the turf during his fall, too. This could be a complicated injury for him to deal with.
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
