  • New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is considered very unlikely to return this season because of multiple fractures in his left hand, NFL Network reported on Tuesday.

According to a Reuters report, New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is "very unlikely" to return this season due to a series of injuries, including a concussion, rib injuries, and a shoulder issue. This news comes after Carr was injured during a game against the Detroit Lions, where he was sacked three times, leading to his latest concussion. Despite his absence, the Saints managed to secure a 33-28 victory. The team has now turned to backup quarterback Jameis Winston, who has experience filling in for Carr. The Saints are currently in contention for a playoff spot with a 7-7 record, and the decision on Carr's participation will be crucial as they face upcoming games against the Los Angeles Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
