NFL: Media: Raiders get Carr back

Good news from Oakland!The shaky raiders obviously didn’t have to wait long for their starting quarterback – Derek Carr will probably return to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

This was confirmed by NFL network insider Ian Rapoport on Friday.Carr had injured his back in the game against Denver, but initially there was speculation about a mandatory break of up to six weeks.

However, positive trends began to emerge in the previous week, and even a campaign against the Ravens last Sunday seemed conceivable for a short time.At the beginning of the week, Head Coach Jack Del Rio had already announced that Carr will most likely be fit for the game against the Chargers.

For Oakland, this marks the start of the season’s phase in which the team has to show that they are capable of doing more.The raiders have already fallen back behind Kansas City and Denver in the division, revealing the expected gaps, especially in the secondary.

However, the offense has so far also been far removed from the dominance hoped for in the run-up to the season.The line is not yet on last year’s level, the passing game is very conservative and Amari Cooper has played a weak season so far.Oakland shouldn’t be able to afford too many missteps now.
