Quarterback Derek Carr exits New Orleans Saints’ 26-13 loss

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr exited Monday’s 26-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with an oblique injury in the fourth quarter.

“It’s a left side, that’s all I know,” Saints coach Dennis Allen said. “The game is going on, the trainer told me he had a left side injury and he’s out.”

Allen did not say whether Carr’s injury would require further testing.

Carr left the field with 9:32 left in the game after throwing an incomplete pass to wide receiver Mason Tipton on fourth down. He appeared to be clutching his hip when the offense walked off the field, went to the injury tent to be evaluated and then walked to the locker room with the team’s medical staff.

This is the fourth game that Carr has left with an injury in his two seasons in New Orleans. He sprained the AC joint in his shoulder against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3 of last season and was placed in concussion protocol twice last year, exiting in losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.

Carr was listed as having a left groin injury in Week 4 this season.
