Neither New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr nor Coach Dennis Allen on Wednesday would rule out Carr’s possible participation in Sunday’s game in the Caesars Superdome, when the Saints (2-1) take on Tampa Bay (2-1).

Carr suffered a sprained AC joint in his right (throwing) shoulder in the third quarter of Sunday’s 18-17 road loss to Green Bay.

Allen said Monday that Carr was day-to-day, and that the shoulder felt better Monday than Sunday evening. Carr did not participate in practice Wednesday, though he was present and on the field.

“He was out there, he’s feeling better today,” Allen said. “We’ll evaluate him to see where he’s at (Thursday). Hopefully, we’ll be able to get him back out there.

“Nothing has changed. We said we’re going to evaluate him throughout the week and see where he’s at. He didn’t practice today, we’ll see where we’re at tomorrow with him. But I’m not ruling anything out.”

The Saints said there were no major changes when they went from Carr to Winston in their loss to the Packers; however, they didn’t attempt a pass to a running back after Carr targeted RBs five times. That’ll likely change once Kamara returns. The Saints need to shake things up behind a struggling offensive line, and they’re averaging only 93.3 rushing yards without Kamara. Kamara, who has 430 career catches, will likely be involved in the passing game immediately to try to give them a different look and provide a spark. — Katherine Terrell

With the 29th pick, we selected an imposing 6’5″ rookie from Clemson to bolster our defensive line: Bryan Bresee.

“He’s an exceptional talent,” said Coach Allen. “He’s big. He’s physical. He’s athletic.”

The defensive line is the first domino to fall, and how it falls dictates the overall ripple.

On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints defensive line executed its job and therefore the entire defense was successful. So much so, the Saints notched just their eighth shutout inside the Caesars Superdome, blanking the Las Vegas Raiders 24-0. Opponents had otherwise been averaging 28.6 points per game against the Saints.

Raiders 30, Saints 27: In what appears to be a battle of evenly-matched teams, I’ll go with the healthier team. The Raiders are much better than their record indicates, and they have more offensive firepower than the Saints right now. An inspired effort by the Saints falls short down the stretch. Sound familiar?

The New Orleans Saints gave Latavius Murray a chance to show what he could still do, and the Denver Broncos will benefit from that. 

After Denver’s young running back Javonte Williams was lost for the season with a knee injury, the Broncos signed Murray off the Saints practice squad, according to an NFL Network report.
