Amid rumors claiming that Carr could miss at least a portion of the upcoming season due to a shoulder injury, the New Orleans Saints selected Shough with the 40th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.

The New Orleans Saints took a shot with the 40th pick of the NFL Draft on Louisville QB Tyler Shough, who will be 26 years old before this season starts. ESPN's Jordan Reid thinks New Orleans will be back at the quarterback well even earlier in a year's time.

The New Orleans Saints won't take Derek Carr's shoulder injury into consideration when they make their 2025 NFL Draft selection, general manager Mickey Loomis said Wednesday.
