In a nail-biting finish, the New Orleans Saints emerged victorious against the New York Giants with a score of 14-11, but not without a scare as quarterback Derek Carr suffered a late-game injury. The incident took place during the fourth quarter, in a crucial moment where Carr attempted to dive for a first down.

Unfortunately, he landed awkwardly, raising immediate concerns about his health. As trainers rushed to his side, Carr appeared to be in discomfort and was subsequently escorted off the field with assistance.

Reports from Luke Johnson of The Times-Picayune indicate that Carr was evaluated for a potential left hand injury and a concussion. The severity of these injuries remains uncertain, with fans holding their breath as they wait for further updates.

With just 4:06 left in the game and the Saints leading, Carr was unable to rejoin his teammates. Jake Haener, the backup quarterback, stepped in to take over as the action unfolded.

Despite the loss of their starting quarterback, the Saints managed to maintain their lead, ultimately clinching the game after blocking a crucial 35-yard field goal attempt by Giants kicker Graham Gano with only 11 seconds remaining.

Before his departure, Carr had a commendable performance, completing 20 of 31 passes for 219 yards, contributing one touchdown and one interception.

This victory marked the Saints' third win in their last four games, improving their record to 5-8 as they strive for a competitive edge in the season.

As the team and fans eagerly await additional news on Carr's condition, questions arise about how his potential absence might impact the Saints’ upcoming games. Will the team's momentum carry forward without their starting QB? Stay tuned for updates as the team discloses more information following assessments.
