Derek Carr made history on “Monday Night Football,” but the New Orleans Saints’ quarterback didn’t get any time to celebrate the moment.
Carr became only the 25th quarterback in NFL history to eclipse 40,000 career passing yards, but his night ended early when he suffered an oblique injury with just under 10 minutes to play. The injury is expected to sideline him for multiple games, according to NFL Media. The Saints will face the Buccaneers in a big NFC South showdown on Sunday before facing the Broncos next Thursday night.
After Monday night’s game, Carr told reporters that the injury occurred as he was torquing his body on his final pass attempt. He was replaced in the lineup by Jake Haener, a 2023 fourth-round pick who had attempted just one regular season pass prior to Monday night.
Prior to getting injured, Carr had thrown touchdown passes of 43 yards to Rashid Shaheed and 6 yards to Foster Moreau.

New Orleans trailed by 10 points when Carr exited the game following a turnover on downs with 9:38 left.
