New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr left Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers with a shoulder injury.
He sustained the injury on a sack in the third quarter and was replaced by backup Jameis Winston. Carr was driven hard to the turf on his right side on the sack by Rashan Gary.
Carr remained on the ground in pain for several moments.
He eventually walked to the sideline medical tent on his own. After an evaluation in the tent, Carr walked to the Saints’ locker room. The Saints punted on the next play, and Winston replaced him on the next New Orleans possession.
The Saints initially announced that Carr was being evaluated for a shoulder injury before ruling him out in the fourth quarter. The extent of his injury wasn’t initially clear. New Orleans led, 17-0 when Carr left the game.
