Raiders quarterback Derek Carr injured his right pinky during last Sunday’s game against the Panthers, but he was able to return to the contest and bring his team back in the fourth quarter for their ninth win of the season.
Carr wasn’t able to take snaps from center after he returned to the game, but it doesn’t look like any lingering issues related to the finger are going to threaten his availability for Sunday’s game against the Bills. Carr met with the media on Wednesday and faced a series of questions about how his finger was feeling and his answer was the same for each one.
“It’s doing great,” Carr said.
Carr also said he had “no limitations” on the field when asked if he’ll be able to do more than play from the shotgun this week, so it looks like everything will be back to normal on offense for the Raiders this weekend. That bodes well for their chances of running their winning streak to six games and solidifying their hold on their lead in the AFC West.
