The New Orleans Saints got some big news on the injury front Wednesday, with QB Derek Carr officially removed from the injury report, indicating he’s graduated from the concussion protocol.
The news removes any mystery regarding the status of the Saints starter for a showdown with the Falcons in Week 12. The Saints also saw G/T James Hurst return to practice fully after missing the Wednesday due to an illness.
