Derek Carr sprained his right AC joint and is considered week-to-week, according to the New Orleans Saints.

Dennis Allen did not rule Carr out for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the team will be cautious with the quarterback and it would be a surprise if he played in Week 4, according to sources.

Jameis Winston is the No. 2 quarterback behind Carr.

"We're not making any decisions today; we're not ruling anything out," Allen said Monday. "We'll see where he's at as the week goes on."

Carr was hurt in the third quarter of the Saints' 18-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. 

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr was ruled out with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

Backup quarterback Jameis Winston took his place after he exited the game. The Saints were ahead 17-0 when Carr left the game.

The New Orleans Saints have signed Carl Granderson to a four-year, $52 million extension that includes $35.3 million in guarantees. 

Granderon was previously on a two-year contract worth $5.2 million with just $240,000 guaranteed.

Granderson was a rotational defensive lineman from 2019-2022 before he won the starting job over Payton Turner in training camp this season.
