With the NFL Draft approaching, reports emerged suggesting Carr could miss the entire 2025 NFL season due to a shoulder injury. Loomis was asked about that situation Wednesday. He confirmed Carr is dealing with a shoulder issue, but he said the team was hoping to have more information soon.

"He does have an issue with his shoulder," Loomis told reporters in a pre-draft news conference. "We're hoping to get some resolution, [some] clarity on that in the near future. And when we do, I'll report back to you. Otherwise, I don't have anything more to state about Derek."

Saints general manager Mickey Loomis is confirming that starting quarterback Derek Carr has a shoulder “issue” but is declining to discuss specifics or forecast Carr’s playing status for this coming season.
