Saints' Derek Carr Suffers Suspected Hand Fracture in Win Over Giants

The veteran quarterback also faces potential concussion protocol after a late-game injury during a critical play.

  • Derek Carr sustained a suspected fracture in his non-throwing hand during the Saints' 14-11 victory over the New York Giants in the fourth quarter.
  • The injury occurred when Carr attempted to leap for a first down, bracing his fall with his left hand and hitting the turf face-first.
  • Interim coach Darren Rizzi confirmed Carr is undergoing further tests and may also enter concussion protocol following the impact.
  • Carr previously missed three games this season due to an oblique injury, with the Saints losing all three games in his absence.
  • Backup quarterback Jake Haener finished the game, while the Saints' slim playoff hopes remain uncertain with a 5-8 record.
