Raiders QB Derek Carr defends team going maskless at crowded indoor event: 'We were trying our best'

The Las Vegas Raiders raised a number of eyebrows on Tuesday after photos and videos of several players going maskless at a crowded indoor event started making the rounds.

The maskless players, appearing at a fundraiser for tight end Darren Waller’s foundation, drew some disapproval from Raiders owner Mark Davis, and a investigation from the city that hosted the event.

Among the attendees were Foster Moreau, Jason Witten, Hunter Renfrow, Zay Jones, Nevin Lawson and Derek Carr. That last player addressed the matter on Wednesday, lamenting the coverage of the appearance and trying to draw attention to Waller’s cause.
