With Derek Carr's status in doubt, Saints confident in Jameis Winston

METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints are used to this feeling.

They’re potentially facing their fifth straight season of playing a backup quarterback just three weeks into the season after starter Derek Carr went down with a shoulder injury in an 18-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Saints coach Dennis Allen said Carr is week-to-week with an AC joint sprain, but the team will be cautious with the quarterback and it would be a surprise if he played next week, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
