After he
was benched, Raiders quarterback
Derek Carr was not spotted by reporters during the day’s practice.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Carr and the Raiders agreed that he would step away from the team to “avoid the obvious distractions.” So, Carr won’t practice and will be listed as not-injury related.
Head coach Josh McDaniels announced on Wednesday that
Jarrett Stidham would start the last two games of the season with Chase Garbers being the club’s backup.
While McDaniels said there’s no finality to Carr’s status with the Raiders, the obvious implication of his benching is that the quarterback won’t be with the franchise in 2023.
