Saints' Carr Injured, Doubtful for Buccaneers Game

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr exited the game against the Kansas City Chiefs with an oblique injury during the fourth quarter and plans to undergo an MRI to assess the injury's severity. Carr admitted he was physically unable to throw after feeling the strain during his throwing motion on a fourth-down play, despite expressing a strong desire to continue playing. Jake Haener replaced Carr for the Saints' final offensive series, completing 2 of 7 passes for 17 yards. The Saints, who have lost three consecutive games, face a crucial matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as another loss would impact their playoff hopes. Carr, who reached the milestone of 40,000 career passing yards during the game, is determined to recover in time for the next match.
