Just as Saints star running back Alvin Kamara returns from his suspension, New Orleans is dealing with a shoulder injury to starting quarterback Derek Carr. Saints coach Dennis Allen couldn't say Monday how soon Carr might return, describing the 10th-year quarterback's status as “week to week.” Carr was the Saints' top priority in free agency and wasn't even three full games into his four-year, $150 million contract before injuring his throwing shoulder during a wrenching 18-17 loss at Green Bay on Sunday.
New Orlans Saints defensive end Carl Granderson has signed a four-year contract extension, general manager Mickey Loomis said Saturday. Granderson is in his fifth NFL season and first as a full-time starter after beating out 2021 first-round draft choice Payton Turner for the job in the preseason. The Saints (2-0) are in Wisconsin Sunday to play the Green Bay Packers (1-1).
Jordan Love celebrated his first career start at Lambeau Field by producing the type of comeback his four-time MVP predecessor orchestrated so often. Love rallied Green Bay from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit after New Orleans lost quarterback Derek Carr to a shoulder injury, and the Packers stunned New Orleans 18-17 on Sunday. “It’s always about how the game ends," said Love, who went 22 of 44 for 259 yards with one touchdown pass, a TD run and an interception.
