Jameis Winston Injury Updates | Shark Bites

The Browns and QB Jameis Winston have agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $8.7 million, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Winston had interest from "multiple teams," per Schultz, but was presumably not offered a starting job. He'll slide in behind QB Deshaun Watson in Cleveland. Watson is coming off a disappointing 2023 season that ended with a right shoulder injury that required surgery. Considering what the Browns are paying him, though, Watson will need to be even worse this year for Winston to see the field. Winston is only worth stashing in deeper superflex dynasty leagues. This signing means that QB Joe Flacco won't be back in Cleveland.

Saints QB Derek Carr (concussion, rib, right shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. HC Dennis Allen said that Carr "feels pretty good” in terms of the rib and shoulder injuries and that it's the concussion that could keep him out for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. We'll see how Carr progresses through the protocol over the next few days, but QB Jameis Winston is still the favorite to start on Sunday.

Saints HC Dennis Allen said Monday that QB Derek Carr is in concussion protocol and has a rib injury. It's Carr's second concussion in the past four weeks. We'll see about the rib injury, but Carr is unlikely to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. That'll put QB Jameis Winston under center, which is seemingly excellent news for WR Chris Olave.

Saints QB Derek Carr is officially doubtful to return to Sunday's game vs. the Lions with a concussion, shoulder injury, and back injury. He took a big shot in the fourth quarter, giving way to QB Jameis Winston. Stay tuned for updates on Carr's status going forward.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Saints QB Derek Carr sprained the AC joint in his throwing shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. He calls it a similar injury to Carr's previous shoulder issue and "might actually be" and aggravation of that previous injury. It's still not expected to be serious. And the Week 11 bye seems likely to put Carr on track to miss no further time. Frankly, we can't help but wonder if it would help WR Chris Olave's fantasy outlook if Carr did miss some time. We'll check back in on the New Orleans QB situation after the bye.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweets that Saints QB Derek Carr is "hopeful" to be able to play after the Week 11 bye. He should clear the concussion protocol by then. We'll need to see about the shoulder. We should learn more about that injury on Monday. QB Jameis Winston will start if Carr misses more time and is worth adding in 2-QB and superflex leagues.

Saints QB Derek Carr exited Sunday's game vs. the Vikings after taking a big hit in the third quarter. He was replaced by QB Jameis Winston, who promptly completed three straight passes, capped by a TD to WR Chris Olave. We'll look for an update on Carr -- and see how Winston fares.

Update: Carr has been ruled out with a concussion and right shoulder injury

ESPN's Adam Schefter tweets that the Saints will be "cautious" with QB Derek Carr's shoulder injury. "It would be a surprise if Carr played Sunday vs. the Bucs," Schefter adds. It's looking like QB Jameis Winston will get the start against the team that took him No. 1 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Saints QB Derek Carr is believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Carr reportedly avoided "major" injury to the joint, but Rapoport says he'd be "a little surprised" if Carr were able to play in Week 4. Assuming he doesn't, Jameis Winston would get the start against Tampa Bay. Winston threw for 101 yards on 10-of-16 passing in relief against the Packers on Sunday. He's worth a pickup in superflex leagues for Week 4.

The Saints believe QB Derek Carr avoided a season-ending injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He could still miss some time," Rapoport adds. It's relatively good news, but it sounds like we'll likely see QB Jameis Winston in the short term. We should have a better idea of Carr's timeline for return in the next 24 hours.

Saints QB Derek Carr was taken to a local hospital for additional testing after exiting Sunday's game vs. the Packers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "They will check for, among other things, internal injuries," Rapoport adds. We'll update Carr's status when we learn more. He was replaced in Green bay by QB Jameis Winston, who finished 10-of-16 for 101 yards, 0 TDs, and 0 INTs.

Saints QB Derek Carr suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Packers and is questionable to return. QB Jameis Winston has entered the game for New Orleans. We'll update Carr's status when we know more.

Update: Carr has been ruled out. It appeared to be a right shoulder injury.

Saints QBs Jameis Winston (back, ankle) and Andy Dalton (back) were limited in Tuesday's practice. It remains unclear who will start vs. the Cardinals on Thursday night. We'll get New Orleans' final injury report tomorrow.

The Saints listed QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) and QB Andy Dalton (back) as limited participants in Monday's estimated injury report. Dalton sustained his injury in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. The report was "estimated" because New Orleans ran no actual practice Monday. The team will face Arizona on Thursday night.

Saints QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. It's still unclear whether he'll be back under center vs. the Bengals this weekend. We should have a better idea of Winston's status when we get New Orleans' final injury report on Friday afternoon.

Saints QB Andy Dalton will start Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks, HC Dennis Allen said Friday. QB Jameis Winston remains out with his back and ankle injuries. Dalton was ok in last week’s loss to the Vikings and has some Superflex and DFS appeal against Seattle’s 30th-ranked QB defense.

Saints QB Jameis Winston missed practice Wednesday, listed with the back and ankle injuries that kept him out of Sunday's loss in London. We'll see about his status throughout the week.

Saints QB Jameis Winston is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings in London because of back and ankle injuries that have kept him out of practice this week. That will leave Andy Dalton as the starter. Dalton's career completion rate (62.2%) stands just 0.9 percentage points higher than Winston's, so we're not ready to project a boost in catch rate for Saints skill players. Dalton's shorter career average depth of target, though (8.6 vs. Winston's 10.8) could alter the offensive approach. Dalton's style could help the target shares of RB Alvin Kamara and WR Jarvis Landry in particular. We're still betting on WR Michael Thomas' absence affecting the pass-catchers' outlooks more than the QB switch, though. Missing Winston also could mean a few more Taysom Hill snaps behind center. He carries some upside if you're reaching deep for a TE. But we wouldn't play Hill over anyone from David Njoku up in this week's TE rankings.
