4. Who’s Going to Play Quarterback?
If Carr can’t go, the Raiders will turn to former Bears quarterback Mike Glennon, who lost his job to Trubisky under John Fox’s regime. Glennon has an 84 career quarterback rating, and is 6-16 in his career as a starter. Bears backup Chase Daniel is 2-2 in his career as a starter, including a 1-1 record last year when Trubisky missed time with a different shoulder injury.
In other words, the Raiders need Carr to be healthy if they’re going to hold off the Bears defense, which scores plenty on its own, even when its offense struggles. London fans would prefer Carr vs Trubisky, but it doesn’t look like it’s in the cards. This is definitely storyline to monitor as the week progresses.
