Raiders quarterback Derek Carr showed a lot of toughness Sunday.

The MVP candidate suffered a gruesome-looking injury to his pinky finger after a mishandled snap. He left the game, and it didn't appear he'd be able to return. But he did, and not only was he able to play, but he even led a comeback against the Panthers en route to a win.
