Rapoport: Derek Carr avoided serious injury but could miss time; Carr has AC joint sprain (Sports Med Dr Jesse Morse predicts 1 - 4 wks)

AC joint is best case scenario. There is a chance he can play versus Tampa. I’ve had a sprained AC joint. Painful but doesn’t impact throwing mechanics (unless there is swelling). Don’t want it to get hit so RB or LB would be a no go but QB is different. Pain management issue (bench and push up motion is the worst but throwing is good) not a mechanics issue. Another direct strike to the shoulder makes you want to cry and scream. We dodged a bullet. Better fix this line.
If it's a Grade 1 possible to be back for Tampa but given the state of the OL an extra week would be wise.
