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.
