He didn’t voluntarily sit out games with the Raiders to avoid injury. The Raiders knew they were going to trade or cut him after the season and so wouldn’t play him because they were afraid of the injury.
I don’t recall him sitting out games this year as a healthy scratch.
I wouldn’t have blamed the FO for encouraging Rizzi to sit Carr even if he could play. His $30m base in 2025 is guaranteed for injury, putting us into a similar situation compared to the Raiders when they were considering whether to move on.
