Carr and the Saints were down 23-13 at the time of the hit. He would seem to grab his back after the hit, and would head to the medical tent.

Following the game, Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that Carr's injury was a "left side injury." He didn't have any further details on Carr's injury, only that trainers told him that the quarterback injured his side.

"We'll get an MRI and all that stuff tomorrow, so we'll get it figured out," Carr said postgame.

Carr would enter the blue medical tent after the hit, and soon after would make his way to the locker room. He would be listed as "questionable" with an oblique injury, per the ESPN broadcast.

The quarterback wouldn't be back on the field on the Saints next offensive possession, and he wouldn't finish the game.
