Derek Carr had a short day in the Week 1 loss to the Bengals. In the 2nd quarter, on 3rd-and-10, Carr broke the pocket and scrambled towards the first down. When CB Adam Jones came up in support, Carr went after him with a hard stiff arm. While Jones punched the ball out, Carr punched his hand towards Jones' helmet. The hand swelled up and that would be the end of the day for Carr.
In his 1 1/2 quarters of play, Carr was not particularly effective. The entire offense seemed either nervous or just out of sync, which resulted in a number of poor plays, including quite a few drops.
