ALAMEDA – Raiders quarterback Derek Carr dislocated his right pinky finger in two places, as confirmed by his brother and NFL Network analyst David Carr on Monday afternoon.
That generally isn’t a good thing, but Carr was able to snap his finger back in place, return after missing just one series, and lead his Raiders to a 35-32 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon.
X-rays showed Carr’s finger wasn’t broken, a positive development following a botched snap that mangled his smallest digit.
The Raiders believe Carr will be fine moving forward, which is great news for a team so dependent on its quarterback.
