ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The scar on the outside of Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr's right ankle tells the story of the most brutal sack he took last season, the season-ending broken fibula he endured in Week 16.

His eyes, and memory, though, recall a different type of beating.

"Yeah, from past family experience, I know that if an injury happens or anything like that or if someone breaks a shoelace, that we're OK still," Carr said of feeling protected behind his offensive line in Oakland, while referencing the motley crew his brother David played behind in Houston 15 years ago.
