On the same day that Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels announced that Derek Carr would be benched for the team’s final two games, the veteran quarterback apparently won’t even suit up for the team the rest of this season.
Carr reportedly will step away from the team for Weeks 17 and 18, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, as part of a mutually decided move between him and the team. The goal is to avoid being a distraction as Las Vegas closes out the season with home games against the 49ers and Chiefs, per Jeff Howe of The Athletic.
