NFL news, injury updates: Derek Carr, Aidan O’Connell both leave early with injuries as Eagles clinch playoff spot

The playoff field is starting to take shape as Week 14 of the NFL season winds down.

The Philadelphia Eagles officially earned a postseason spot on Sunday afternoon after their win against the Carolina Panthers. That made them the second NFC team to make it in, along with the Detroit Lions. The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs who won their ninth consecutive division title on Sunday night with a bank-in kick have earned spots in the AFC already.

Several teams were eliminated on Sunday, too, including the New York Jets. Theyve not been to the playoffs now since 2010, which is the longest active drought in the NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL and MLB.

The Cowboys and Bengals, both of whom could use a win if theyre going to salvage their seasons, will officially wrap up Week 14 on Monday night.

Derek Carrs season may be over.

The Saints quarterback left their win over the New York Giants early on Sunday after he landed directly on his left wrist and arm. Carr was scrambling for a first down when he hurdled over three other players, and he remained down on the field clearly in a lot of pain before he walked off.

Carr didnt return, and the Saints fear he fractured his hand. Its unclear how long hell be sidelined, or if he will be able to make a return to the field later this season.

While the Saints have won three of their last four games, they sit at just 5-8 on the season. Without Carr down the stretch, securing a playoff berth will likely be incredibly difficult.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan OConnell was carted off the field in their loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday with a leg injury. While were still waiting on more information and tests to come back, coach Antonio Pierce said after the game that it doesnt look good.

OConnell was shoved in the back late by Bucs defensive end Calijah Kancey while scrambling. Kancey hit OConnell two steps after OConnell got rid of the ball, but he somehow didnt draw a penalty.

OConnells leg was put into an air cast and he was carted off the field. Desmond Ridder came in to replace him.

The injury is just the latest for the Raiders at quarterback this season. On the bright side, though, they are currently on track to earn the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft next spring. That has to count for something.
