Derek Carr In Concussion Protocol And Dealing With Rib Injury

12 months ago

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion/ribs) is in concussion protocol and is being evaluated for a rib injury after suffering a vicious hit in the loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The veteran signal-caller was also thought to have a shoulder injury, but it seems to be fine, according to a source. Carr suffered his second concussion in a month, so there's a good chance he misses the Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers. Jameis Winston will start for New Orleans in that case. Taysom Hill could also see more work as a wildcat quarterback. The Panthers have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season, so Winston is not set up to be a viable single-QB league streamer.
