Derek Carr overcomes recent injuries and rough start, leads Saints past Panthers 28-6

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:28 GMT

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Derek Carr sounded determined not to dwell on any dysfunction evident within the Saints’ offense after New Orleans overcame three shaky quarters and did enough to defeat the team with the NFL’s worst record.Carr returned from a recent concussion and upper body injuries to throw late touchdown passes to Chris Olave and Jimmy Graham, and the Saints beat the hapless Carolina Panthers 28-6 on Sunday to pull back into a tie atop the feeble NFC South.“I’m not trying to be negative,” Carr said when asked about a heated exchange with center Erik McCoy following a sack on a third-and-2 play. “There really is nothing wrong,” Carr added. “We had a moment. I’ve had some of those moments in my 10 years a lot of times, with a coach, with a teammate, somebody. You always circle back and make it right and keep going.”McCoy said he wanted to offer a “public apology” for his “public disagreement” with Carr, and asserted that he and his QB remaine...

Chargers’ QB Justin Herbert sidelined, ruled out by finger injury in 2nd quarter against Broncos

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:32:28 GMT

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has been ruled out of Los Angeles’ game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday due to a finger injury that occurred late in the second quarter.The only other quarterback on the Chargers’ roster is Easton Stick, who had played two NFL snaps in five seasons with Los Angeles before he replaced the Bolts’ franchise quarterback against Denver.
