Carr (leg) is expected to undergo surgery on his fractured fibula Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Carr's projected recovery timetable is six to eight weeks, so he'd be unlikely to return throughout the playoffs unless Matt McGloin is able to lead the Raiders all the way to the Super Bowl in February. Barring such a wild scenario, Carr will have finished his 2016 campaign with 356 pass completions on 559 attempts for 3,933 yards, 28 touchdowns, and just six interceptions. The 25-year-old certainly solidified himself as the Raiders' next franchise quarterback as he earned MVP consideration at points throughout the season, so hopefully he'll be able to make a full recovery from the demoralizing broken leg.
