DECEMBER 29, 2022

Stepping away from team Carr will step away from the Raiders for the remainder of the regular season in order to avoid being a distraction to the team, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Carr, who will be replaced as the Raiders' starting quarterback by Jarrett Stidham, isn't slated to participate in practices over the final two weeks and his absence will be listed as "not-injury related" on official injury reports. With Carr slated to be inactive for Weeks 17 and 18, Chase Garbers will be elevated from the practice squad and is set to back up Stidham in games against the 49ers and Chiefs to close out the season.

Demoted to healthy scratch Carr will be inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, with Jarrett Stidham getting the start and Chase Garbers called up from the practice squad to serve as the backup, Adam S...

Impact Needing about a dozen games to go their way over the final two weeks to qualify for the playoffs, the Raiders have decided to prioritize evaluation of young players over pursuing their less-than-1-percent shot of reaching the postseason. Making Carr inactive rather than the backup ensures he won't have to play and eliminates injury risk -- crucial given the possibility he's traded or released this upcoming winter/spring. ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports that the Raiders can release him with a dead-cap charge of $5.625 million if they do it within three days of the Super Bowl in February; they'll likely make the move unless they have a verbal agreement in place to trade him to another team (which can't be made official until the start of the 2023 league year in March).

Benched for final two weeks The Raiders are benching Carr in favor of Jarrett Stidham for the final two games of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Carr has taken a step backward under Josh McDaniels' coaching staff, and while Stidham is unlikely to fare any better, the team will take a look at the 26-year-old now that playoff hopes are waning. Carr is signed with the Raiders through 2025, but on a contract that isn't especially difficult for the team to get out of this offseason. Trade rumors are sure to swirl.
