Report: Derek Carr has shoulder injury that may require surgery
The Saints have a sudden quarterback problem.
Derek Carr, via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, has a shoulder injury. Per the report, it “threatens his availability for this season.”
Carr is considering his options, including surgery.
It’s not specified whether he’d miss some or all of the 2025 season. It’s also unclear how or when the injury happened.
If it was something that occurred during the 2024 season, the Saints will have to pay Carr his full salary. If it happened elsewhere (including while working out on his own), the Saints could be able to not pay his salary and/or recover money previously paid.
