The Saints quarterback broke his silence this week to speak on a wide range of topics, including his ongoing shoulder injury, which could have him sidelined into next season.

Much has remained unclear about the extent of Carr’s injury, but that isn’t important to what he stated about his wife.

Derek Carr told reporters that he had to rush his wife to the ER for a miscarriage when they were scheduled to visit NOLA for his shoulder injury.

“We don’t just have 4 babies we have 5. One is in heaven. We’ll get to meet the other one when we get to heaven,” he said.

Support has already been coming out in droves for the 34-year-old quarterback and his family.

“Wouldn’t wish this upon anyone,” one fan said.

“I actually love this guy and I want him as my qb1 in new orleans,” a second fan stated.

“Praying for the Carr family. That’s terrible,” a third person added.

“My condolences to you Derek and to your wife I know this is a tough time but our hearts are joined with you all in prayer. God bless you all,” a fan to wrote to Derek Carr.

One final fan said: “Damn that so sad.”

With a potential quarterback controversy brewing in New Orleans, Derek Carr is finally speaking out.

On Monday, the veteran QB confirmed the news of his shoulder injury in a speech delivered at Church LV, a church in Las Vegas.

Earlier this month, reports circulated that Carr had a significant shoulder injury that might require surgery.

Carr dispelled rumors that his injury was meant to force the Saints into a trade.

“I hate that I have to say this, but I have to say this. Yes, I have a shoulder injury, despite what ESPN says and what some lady on a podcast might think,” Carr said. “I have an MRI report to prove it. The team knows about it, we’ve been in constant communication. There’s nothing wrong, we’re figuring it out, and we’re gonna go forward with that.”

The Indiana Fever made a franchise-altering decision last season when they selected Iowa guard Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft. The budding star turned the team around, helping them to the playoffs for the first time in nearly 10 years.

As a result of their success, several high-end free agents wanted to team up with Clark and her teammates. Now, equipped with a complete starting lineup and a solid amount of depth, the Fever are one of the frontrunners for the WNBA Finals.

But before their season officially begins on May 17, they’ll have a trio of preseason contests to play. While two of them are run-of-the-mill exhibition games, one of them is another testament to just how impactful Clark has been during her one year in the league.
