Elite Carl Landry Jersey Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, three days after dislocating his right (passing) pinkie in two places on a mistimed snap from center Rodney Hudson.
Carr practiced with a black glove on his right hand, and while he threw passes and handed the ball off from the shotgun, he never took snaps from under center during the open media portion of practice.
The Raiders host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Earlier Wednesday, Carr kept his injured right hand in his hoodie pocket during his media availability and downplayed the severity of the injury, giving virtually the same answer to every question about the pinkie.

The primary reason Wilson struggled last week is a Tampa Bay pass rush that ranks seventh in the league since Week 9 in ESPN’s pass-pressure metric, which gauges how often a defense gets a sack, quarterback hit or puts the quarterback under duress (36.4 percent). This is not something Carolina does well, as the Panthers rank 25th for the season in this metric (25.5 percent). Look for Wilson to return to his Weeks 9-11 form that saw him post 25 or more points in each game.
The Cardinals’ toughest opponent in getting to nine wins will be themselves.
After their past two losses, the Cardinals’ locker room boasted about preparing and practicing well. But when they ran out of the tunnels in Minnesota and Atlanta for the opening kickoff, something changed. All that work didn’t pay off.
The question becomes, why? Even Arians doesn’t have the answers.
Elite Charles Barkley Jersey “I would probably make a million if I could answer that because I could sell it to a bunch of coaches,†Arians said. “I don’t know, because preparation is usually the key to success, and we have a month of great practices, preparation, guys pass tests. They do everything that they are asked to do, but it’s not translating on those four or five plays.
“It is throughout the game and right now we’ve got ourselves behind the eight ball in the fourth quarter, having to throw, and our offensive line cannot handle that.â€
