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

I have no problem with Carr targeting Olave and Sheed more. Both are better after the catch. Thomas is a great player and brings a lot to the table, but he just doesn’t get the separation like he used to. He’s also immediately down every time he catches the ball it seems. We do need to go to mike more in the redzone though. We did miss him a few times
Agreed on Olave and Sheed’s YAC. What I fear is Shaheed not being targeted much with Winston and kind of phased out, only getting looks on shot plays late in the route, as oppose to normal drag routes + deep shots in stride like Shaheed does with Carr. Thomas’ reads doesn’t seem to consistently work with Carr right now, while it doesn’t take much for Winston to find and hit him. But Olave and Shaheed’s routes develop very easy with Carr. Maybe it’s their speed is what works better with DC. Carr reads Thomas more like a TE like he’s Juwan and that may explain why Juwan doesn’t get as many looks as it seemed like he would get during TC. Theres a noticeable difference in who or how Carr and Winston identifies/distributes their reads and targets. Thomas/Olave/JJ for Winston. Olave/Shaheed-or-Thomas with Carr. So many options to choose but few targets to go out.
