Either this dude is a baby back bit who likes the attention from people when he is hurt.

Or he’s a tough SOB.

I don’t know yet. He’s still too new to me. But, I’m leaning towards the first option.

His toughness is one thing about Carr that I would not question at all.

Guess he's faking concussions and a shoulder injury when we were 2-0 en route to 3-0 and life was great.

It's like the song at the end of the 1st Jackass movie:
"If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough".

Potential candidate for CTE. He may already beginning to show the signs. Hope not. Wish him well in his retirement.

He may be an a-hole but I don't doubt his toughness or commitment. This is the second time in three weeks he's rushed back from concussion protocol, when he should probably be sitting.

It is up to the NFL, the Saints, and team doctors to follow concussion protocols and not the players’ responsibility. The protocols are designed to keep him safe.

The blame and liability is on the NFL if he rushes back to play. Nice try.

No idea what I'm trying. I even called the guy an a-hole. It's ultimately up to him and the coaching staff whether his cleats touch the field on Sunday (if cleared of course). I'm not interested in the liability of it.

He is selfish. This reminds me of when Sean Payton was trotting out an injured Drew Brees when Teddy Bridgewater had the team rolling.

If Carr is hurt, sit and heal and be healthy. Carr was benched last year and I believe he feels that he has to play thru injury to maintain his spot.

Carr isn’t that good when he’s 100% healthy. He should just sit for a game. Two concussions in a month is bad

As someone said I think the Saints FO would love to get out of some of his guaranteed salary due to a injury clause.
Also DA may be fighting for his job so if he thinks DC is the answer he would be pushing him to play as well. I think the FO and Allen are the only ones

Carr was a limited participant in practice again today... still in concussion protocol but if he's practicing it seems like he's getting through it

Olave didn't practice on Thursday with an illness

McCoy & Ramczyk both upgraded from limited participation on Wednesday to full on Thursday

Cam Jordan, who didn't practice Wednesday, was upgraded to limited on Thursday

Still no Taysom Hill though

Don't recall all the ins and out, and too lazy to look it up now, but he has an injury clause in his contract that would expedite some guarantees if released due to injury

I think on some level it is highly irresponsible if the saints let carr play Sunday.

they are paying him a lot and he' already left 3 games with a concussion mentioned as a reason.

fricking idiots.

Carr was a full participant in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday

I guess he clears protocol and plays Sunday

Only Foskey & Miller are definitely out

Taysom didn't practice again but is listed as questionable

My other concern is Olave not practicing for a 2nd straight day with an illness and being questionable for Sunday
