Derek Carr

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Derek Carr is believed to have suffered a “significant” injury to his throwing shoulder last year that threatens his availability for next season.

The Saints listed the right-armed Carr with a left-hand injury late in Weeks 15-18 but made no mention of a throwing-shoulder issue. There seems to be more to this story. Carr has not yet decided whether he will undergo surgery but, regardless, it seems clear that the Saints must select a quarterback early in the 2025 NFL Draft at this point.
