Saints' Derek Carr Prepares for Injury-Free Return Against Panthers
After missing the last four games due to a calf injury, quarterback Derek Carr is set to make his return for the New Orleans Saints this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
Carr's Recovery and Preparations
Carr has been working diligently in rehab to regain his strength and mobility. He has been participating in team practices this week and has looked sharp in drills. The veteran quarterback is confident that he is ready to play and lead the Saints to victory.
"I feel great," Carr said. "I've been taking it one day at a time and working hard to get back on the field. I'm excited to be back with my teammates and get this win."
Importance of Carr's Return
Carr's return is a major boost for the Saints offense. He is an experienced and talented quarterback who can make all the throws. His leadership and presence on the field will be invaluable for the team.
The Saints have struggled in Carr's absence, averaging only 17.8 points per game. With Carr back under center, they hope to improve their offensive production and secure a much-needed win.
Panthers' Defense
The Panthers' defense will be a tough test for Carr in his first game back. They are ranked third in the league in sacks and have a talented secondary. Carr will need to be sharp and make quick decisions to avoid costly mistakes.
"They're a good defense," Carr said. "They're aggressive and they create a lot of turnovers. We have to be prepared for everything they throw at us."
