Derek Carr hasn't had much good luck against the Kansas City Chiefs in his career. You can also add injury luck to that list.
The New Orleans Saints quarterback came up hobbled after a hit from Chiefs DB Chamarri Conner in the fourth quarter of the Week 5 "Monday Night Football" matchup between both squads.
Carr and the Saints were down 23-13 at the time of the hit. He would seem to grab his back after the hit, and would head to the medical tent.
Here's the latest on the Saints QB:

Following the game, Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that Carr's injury was a "left side injury." He didn't have any further details on Carr's injury, only that trainers told him that the quarterback injured his side.
"We'll get an MRI and all that stuff tomorrow, so we'll get it figured out," Carr said postgame.
Carr would enter the blue medical tent after the hit, and soon after would make his way to the locker room. He would be listed as "questionable" with an oblique injury, per the ESPN broadcast.
The quarterback wouldn't be back on the field on the Saints next offensive possession, and he wouldn't finish the game.

The Saints selected Haener in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL draft. Coincidentally, Haener attended Fresno State, the same school as Carr.
