Derek Carr Remains In Concussion Protocol

Derek Carr Remains In Concussion Protocol

one year ago

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that quarterback Derek Carr's right shoulder checked out fine on Monday, but he remains in the league's concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in the Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Vikings are heading into their bye in Week 11, which will give Carr some extra time to rest up. He is hopeful that he'll be ready to rock for a big divisional clash against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12. The Saints made it clear that they're sticking with Carr under center moving forward as long as he's health, even though Jameis Winston made things interesting following Carr's departure on Sunday. Still, the 32-year-old veteran checks in as the QB28 in average fantasy points per game so far in 2023, so he hasn't been of much value in superflex leagues to this point.
