People close to New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr pointed to one silver lining from his shoulder injury in Sunday's 18-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.
"There's also a sense of relief in Carr's camp regarding the ground on which the injury occurred," Florio reported Monday. "It happened on the non-frozen non-tundra of Lambeau Field, one of the best playing surfaces in the NFL. If he had slammed his upper body against less forgiving artificial turf, which does not absorb forces but ricochets them back into the body, it could have been much worse for Carr.
