Saints QB Derek Carr Ruled Out vs Vikings After Taking A Brutal Hit

A rough afternoon for the New Orleans Saints just got a lot worse.

During the third quarter of their game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Carr was drilled by Vikings defensive linemen Danielle Hunter and Jaquelin Roy while throwing a pass. Hunter got Carr high while Roy got him low, knocking him out of the game.

Carr was eventually carted to the locker room. 

A scary-looking situation in Minnesota, where #Saints QB Derek Carr was down for a while after taking a hard, clean hit from Danielle Hunter. Carr walked off.

Jameis Winston is in at QB.
