Derek Carr could run out of time.
The Raiders quarterback suffered a serious groin injury Thursday night and is expected to be sidelined for 10 to 14 days, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. That would cast doubt on Carr’s status for next Saturday’s game between playoff survival and the Dolphins, although he will push to play if possible, Rapoport added. Coach Jon Gruden said on Friday it was 50-50 if his QB1 would be available for Week 16.
Carr was injured as he was sacked in the first quarter of Las Vegas’ overtime loss to the Chargers, putting an end to what has easily been one of his best seasons.
The setback also paved the way for Marcus Mariota to make his Raiders debut. The former Titans starter impressed, completing 17 of 28 passes for 226 yards with one touchdown and one interception while rushing nine times for 88 yards and one scoring.
Mariota will now prepare to make her first start in over a year, with her new team battling for their playoffs. At 7-7, the Raiders must beat Miami and then the Broncos in Week 17 and also be helped to end a three-year drought in the playoffs.
