The New Orleans Saints' rollercoaster season has just hit another hurdle as quarterback Derek Carr suffered a devastating double blow in the latest installment of their tumultuous campaign.
According to interim coach Darren Rizzi, the talented quarterback is currently dealing with a hand injury and has also been placed in concussion protocol, following an incident that has sent shockwaves through the NFL community.
Rizzi made the announcement in a Monday news conference, shedding light on Carr's current condition after the news first surfaced through NFL Network. The network reported that the 31-year-old quarterback suffered a broken left hand.
Though Rizzi did not confirm the exact nature of the injury during the news conference, sources close to the team suggest that the severity of the hand injury means the quarterback's immediate return is in serious jeopardy. The concussion protocol adds another layer of complexity to Carr's already uncertain status.
As he navigates the uncertain waters of recovery from the injuries sustained recently, fans and supporters of the Saints will anxiously wait for news about Carr's future appearances on the field.
Given the rollercoaster campaign, hopes may be dwindling as the season goes on. Carr has proven an integral component of the team; therefore losing him could prove disastrous for the team in coming games.
New Orleans Saints' faithful fans take heart; players don't easily call it a day and we at News World eagerly expect Derek Carr to make a dramatic recovery sooner than you imagine.
