Notably, Carroll had bigger injury concerns to deal, as Geno Smith also injured himself- the second time in Sunday's game after cutting his hand earlier and staying out of a few plays. He suffered a right shoulder injury in the third quarter, and Kenny Pickett had to step in.
"It's just kind of jammed up right now," Carroll said, "The early indications that they were able to get didn't show any damage. His shoulder is really locked up. So, we'll see what that means."
