New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) is considered week-to-week with a sprained AC joint but has not been ruled out yet in Week 4, per sources Monday, Sept. 25.
Footballguys view: Carr is unlikely to be ready in Week 4 as he's dealing with a sprained AC joint. That means Jameis Winston gets to start against his old team (Buccaneers) on Sunday. |
Derek Carr player page
Updating previous reports, New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder) suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, and no additional damage was found. It's unclear how long Carr will be out, as that will be determined by swelling and mobility, but he is not expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Updating previous report, New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr's (shoulder) shoulder injury is not believed to be as serious as initially feared, and is he is expected to return to the lineup at some point this season, according to sources.
Footballguys view: It still sounds like Jameis Winston will be the Saints quarterback in Week 4 and a while beyond. Winston wasn't very aggressive with the ball, but he entered with the team leading 17-0. The Saints have one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league, so hopefully this won't be too damaging for Chris Olave and Michael Thomas's value. |

New Orleans Saints RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 3 versus the Green Bay Packers. TE Foster Moreau (ankle) did not practice on Friday, Sept. 22, and is listed as doubtful. CB Paulson Adebo (hamstring) also did not practice on Friday but is listed as questionable. S Ugo Amadi (knee) was limited in practice for a second consecutive day on Friday and is also listed as questionable. QB Taysom Hill (knee), RB Kendre Miller (hamstring) and S Jordan Howden (finger) practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the injury report.
Footballguys view: The rookie Miller will get his first action of the year in this one and share the backfield with Tony Jones, who got called up from the practice squad last week and scored twice. Taysom Hill got some looks at running back and was strong on his touches, so don't be surprised if he also figures more into the running game as the Saints await the return of Alvin Kamara in Week 4. |
