Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr sustained a left hand injury and possible concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 14-11 victory over the New York Giants.
The Saints feared Carr fractured the hand, per reports, and he was slated to undergo further testing. He reportedly had a cast on the hand when exiting the stadium.
Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi said Carr may have to enter the concussion protocol.
Carr was injured when he tried to leap for a first down late in the final quarter. He was near the sideline and went airborne, landing hard on the left hand with this face then slamming into the turf as he landed out of bounds with 3:59 left in the game.
Jake Haener finished up the game for the Saints.
Carr completed 20 of 31 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception for New Orleans.
Overall, Carr has passed for 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions this season. He missed three games earlier this season due to an oblique injury.
