Veteran safety Terrell Burgess is one of three New Orleans Saints players to switch jersey numbers in the wake of Derek Carr's retirement.

To deal with a significant shoulder injury, surgery was considered an option, as was trying to play through it, but former Saints quarterback Derek Carr says he ultimately didn't feel right with either possibility.

Carr was expected to miss the Saints' entire 2025 season while dealing with a labral tear in his right shoulder.
