Derek Carr’sĀ little finger has seen better days.
The Oakland Raiders quarterback suffered a gruesome-looking injury when the pinky on his throwing hand bent in the wrong direction on a botched snap early in the third quarter Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
By video, #DerekCarr dislocated 5th finger. Could return but question of accuracy as throwing hand. https://t.co/jX6TLTJALt

Whatever the exact injury was, it didn’t keep Carr sidelined for long. He did leave the field momentarily, but he only missed one series and returned with a glove on his throwing hand.
