What Happened?
Irvin’s hit on Carr in the second half abruptly concluded Carr’s day, resulting in a concussion and additional injuries. Irvin clarified he didn’t intend to harm his former teammate, although he anticipates receiving a fine for the roughing-the-passer penalty.

“I thought he had the ball,” Irvin said. “The game is different now. They said I had to roll off to the side. I don’t know how I’m gonna do that, but just something I guess I’ve got to focus on more.”

That’s Not All
In addition, Irvin said he was also selected for a random Performance Enhancing Substance test earlier in the week. As a veteran presence, Irvin’s role in boosting the defense for the upcoming Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears remains pivotal. Despite only playing 11 snaps in the win against New Orleans, he is anticipated to assume a more substantial workload moving forward.
