        Derek Carr Retiring; Tyler Shough Time?

        Saints QB Derek Carr has announced he'll retire. We already knew there was a chance he'd miss some or all of the coming season because of an injury to his right shoulder. But this news obviously heightens the importance of rookie QB Tyler Shough's quick development and/or another plan for a "bridge" starter.

        Derek Carr Has Fractured Left Hand

        The Saints believe QB Derek Carr fractured his left hand in Sunday's win over the Giants, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's Carr's non-throwing hand, but the injury still figures to cost him time, if not the rest of the season. We'll look for a timeline for Carr's return. He was replaced by QB Jake Haener vs. New York. He's probably the favorite over QB Spencer Rattler to start against the Commanders next weekend. It's a situation to steer clear of in fantasy lineups.

        Update: The team has confirmed a "significant" fracture of the left hand, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Carr's expected to miss "several weeks," which could obviously mean the end of his season with just four games left.

        Derek Carr Expected To Miss Multiple Games

        Saints QB Derek Carr is expected to miss "multiple games" with the oblique injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, NFL Network reports. He'll likely miss this weekend's game vs. the Bucs and the following Thursday's game against the Broncos. It sounds like he'll have a chance to be back for Week 8. New Orleans' bye isn't until Week 12.
