Saints' Derek Carr 'week-to-week' with hand injury, concussion

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is considered week-to-week after injuring his non-throwing hand and sustaining a concussion on Sunday, interim coach Darren Rizzi said Monday.

"As it stands at this moment, I don't believe it's going to be an IR situation," Rizzi said. "... We're going to kind of take this day-by-day this week. ... He is in the concussion protocol also, so he has to complete the first step of that tomorrow. So it is a double aspect in terms of the injury."

Rizzi said the "left hand/left wrist" injury, which was feared to be a fracture after initial testing Sunday, does not look like it requires surgery, although Carr will get a second opinion.
