You want answers? After preparing for Thursday night’s road game against the Arizona Cardinals with two walkthroughs and a single practice, it’s better to focus on the questions which face the Raiders as they hit the midway point of the exhibition season.
1. Can the Raiders get Derek Carr in and out of the game without a scratch?
Coach Jon Gruden said Wednesday Carr would play “a little” which is at least a mild surprise. As has been made clear on “Hard Knocks,” the idea of “protecting the merchandise” is paramount as is practice etiquette. There is no etiquette in a exhibition game, just players hoping to make a name for themselves.
