the labrum can be fixed but it's really hard rehab.
The rotor cuff will heal on it's own unless he was playing with it

Saints' Derek Carr Praises God's Goodness Despite Wife's Injury in Explosion and Later Miscarriage​

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr stood before a church crowd in Las Vegas earlier this week, testifying of God's goodness even in the midst of a few storms that have shaken his family.

The four-time Pro Bowl player preached at ChurchLV in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday and opened up about how his wife suffered a recent miscarriage while at the same time addressing rumors surrounding his shoulder injury.

"Yes, I have a shoulder injury," Carr pointed out. "Despite what ESPN says and what some lady on the podcast might think, I have an MRI report to prove it. The team knows about it. We've been in constant communication. There's nothing wrong. We're figuring it out, and we're going to go forward with that."

"I've been dealing with this, and I've been dealing with people lying about me," Carr continued. "And I'm like, Lord, why do I have to continue to deal with this nonsense?"

It says a lot about him that he's retiring because he could just sit out due to injury and still collect his paycheck. His retirement should help the Saints with their cap issues and with planning for the future.
