“We dodged a bullet there in terms of anything of real significance,” Allen mentioned. “He felt better [Monday] than he did yesterday. … We’ll see how he feels as the week goes on.”

Carr was once taken to an area health center Sunday to be evaluated upcoming he landed dry on his proper shoulder following a Inexperienced Bay Packers sack that befell on third-and-9 with 10:51 left within the 0.33 quarter. He remained at the grassland for a couple of mins as athletic running shoes attended to his shoulder together with his teammates kneeling beside him.

He walked to the sideline on his personal and entered the trauma tent, the place crew docs evaluated him and briefly aspiring that he would wish to let go the sport to get X-rays.

Carr, who was once 13-of-18 for 103 yards and a landing within the 18-17 loss, flew house with the crew.
