With the Oakland Raiders, there’s still plenty of air to breathe: Derek Carr had to leave the field after a heavy bag during the crash in Denver – the team is now worried about his quarterback.
Immediately after being brought to the ground by several Broncos defenders, Carr grabbed his back.He left the place immediately and was examined on the sidelines before the doctors took him to the cabin.Backup E. J.Manuel finished the game, the Raiders lost in Denver to division rivals.
However, the long-term consequences for Oakland are much more important – if Carr were to go longer, the team would be faced with the same scenario as it had been at the end of last season.At that time Carr broke his leg at Christmas, the raiders stumbled into the playoffs with the backup quarterbacks.
Immediately after the game Carr left room for speculation.He doesn’t feel “too good.We’ve lost.It never feels good.” Physically “doesn’t feel good.But I don’t think anyone in the NFL does.”
At least he added that it would take a lot to miss the next game.More detailed examinations on Monday are to give information, Head Coach Jack Del Rio said that he was not worried about the doctors’ initial findings, at least in the long term.
