The New Orleans Saints may be in for a quarterback change again, as Derek Carr is feared to have a broken left hand according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Carr went to run for a first down along the right side of the field and jumped up to try and clear the mark to gain, but came down hard on his left hand/arm with nothing else to protect it from impact, which ultimately led to him being led off to the locker room shortly thereafter. While this is a non-throwing hand injury, it would still be a detrimental injury to the quarterback.
Carr has already missed four games this season due to an oblique injury against the Kansas City Chiefs, and now could be set to miss time if this is the case. We will see how this develops in the coming days, and if he misses time, who will take over at quarterback this time for the Saints as they look to close out the season.
