Slater said that the information was now surfaced on the carr situation because he first noticed the problem of the shoulder when he started to increase his work to launch off -season.
“Before that, I was told that he only threw a little step into step by step with a false football to the injured players and Alvin Kamara,” posted Slater on X. “He did not have the opportunity to come back and push him really because saints was eliminated and was not disputed and they seated the players.”
Slater added that it seems that Carr would prefer to avoid surgery while the saints are trying to determine what is best for Carr and the team.
“A decision anyway will be made here as soon as possible by the same source,” noted Slater.
