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

It wouold also be stupid .


I want our new highly paid QB to take as much time as he needs (within reason) to fully heal and be 100%.. no need to rush back out there after just the third week of the season .. so what i mean is id be fine with him missing 3 or 4 games then coming back good as new, as opposed to him merely “ok to go” week after next or something .

I also remember Brooks laboring through a shoulder injury late in 2002 when we had our swoon to miss the playoffs. Brooks as flawed as he was, had a decent overall season for much of 2002. But playing hurt hurt the team (and I don't blame Brooks for this...if he says he can't go everyone says he's soft...it's the coach's job to say "Son, I respect your heart but you're not helping yourself or the team by going out there like this.")
