Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis addressed quarterback Derek Carr’s right shoulder injury during a pre-draft press conference, noting that the situation could impact Carr’s availability for the 2025 season. While Loomis confirmed the injury, he refrained from providing further details, stating the team is awaiting more information. Despite the uncertainty, he indicated that the draft approach remains unchanged, as the Saints hold the ninth overall pick and have previously selected a quarterback only once in franchise history, with Archie Manning in 1971.
