ALAMEDA – Derek Carr took his helmet off after stretching and individual drills. The Raiders quarterback didn’t put it back on again.
The offseason program’s final practice was for the backups. Starters were spectators during team periods, as reps went to those needing it most.
Connor Cook and EJ Manuel assumed quarterback duties among the two active units, and continued a competition to be Carr’s primary backup.
It didn’t conclude Thursday, and should extend well into the preseason.
Cook has primarily run the second unit with Manuel orchestrating the third, those the pair have switched at times.
