Carr sustained injury in New Orleans 33-28 loss to Detroit last week and has been placed on the injury list since then. He also picked shoulder and rib injuries.

But the quarterback has participated in his team practice session, albeit on a limited basis, meaning he has kept in as good shape as possible.

“I have felt better, but I’m doing great,” he said.

“I don’t really have any concerns. Our doctors and the non-affiliated doctor said everything was perfect.”
