Saints quarterback Derek Carr said he was tired of facing his defensive teammates in training camp, but he still saw plenty of familiar faces for the joint practice with the Chargers on Thursday.
Carr faced the Chargers twice a year playing in the AFC West the past nine seasons with the Raiders. He’s had a few memorable trash-talking battles with edge rusher Joey Bosa, and he knows plenty about L.A.’s other Pro Bowl edge rusher. Carr and Khalil Mack are close friends from their four seasons together with the Raiders.
The Chargers defense gave Carr fits early Thursday for their first of two joint practices in Costa Mesa, Calif. Carr threw an interception to star safety Derwin James, but he quickly adjusted with his many new weapons with New Orleans.
