Derek Carr responds to comments made by Michael Thomas

The New Orleans Saints’ loss to the Carolina Panthers was ugly no doubt, but losing Chris Olave to another concussion was also a horrible moment in this 2-7 season. Michael Thomas aired his grievances with Derek Carr after the play happened, and Carr ended up responding to these criticisms postgame. Firstly, Carr said, “I have love for Mike…and when he does that, I don’t really care for that. I’ve had so many teammates over the years and he’s the one dude I haven’t got along with.”

He then followed that up with the following statement regarding Thomas placing the guilt on him for the injury, “Anytime that happens I feel sick to my stomach.”

Ultimately the concern goes out to Olave and his health first and foremost no matter what else is going on outside that. The positive update of him coming back to the stadium and flying back with the team is a good start no doubt. The drama between Thomas and Carr ultimately has continued for a bit now, and continued to get worse today after Olave’s injury.
