He was able to walk off the field under his own power but later went to the locker room following an evaluation in the medical tent. Carr underwent X-rays on his shoulder at the stadium before going to a local hospital to run additional tests.<\/p>\n<p>NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that there was no additional damage found in Carr&#8217;s throwing shoulder upon learning the diagnosis of his AC joint sprain, which led to the belief that the Saints QB avoided a more serious injury than originally expected.<\/p>\n<p>Jameis Winston finished Sunday&#8217;s game once Carr was officially ruled out, completing 10 of 16 passes for 101 yards but unable to orchestrate a scoring drive in the 18-17 defeat. Winston would be the starter in the event of Carr&#8217;s absence. Considering Winston&#8217;s one of the league&#8217;s more experienced backup QBs, perhaps the Saints will be more cautious with Carr in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/saints-qb-derek-carr-shoulder-considered-week-to-week-not-yet-ruled-out-vs-bucca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Derek Carr avoided a long-term shoulder injury in Sunday&#8217;s loss to Green Bay, but his availability will be an ongoing storyline in the weeks ahead.
