Derek Carr leaves game with nasty finger injury (Video)
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in football in 2016, so when he left Sunday’s game with a finger injury, Raider Nation held its collective breath.
Carr injured his right pinky finger taking a snap and left the game immediately.
Carr’s finger was very clearly – and rather gruesomely – out of place after the play.

The injury was apparently extremely painful as well.
Tracy Wolfson says Derek Carr was "screaming in pain" as he went to the locker room.

Carr missed a series before managing return to the game. The Raiders can ill afford to lose him.
