Giving way to Peterman on Sunday

Carr's teammate, Nathan Peterman, is slated to start Sunday's preseason finale against the 49ers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

The report notes that with Marcus Mariota managing a quad issue and the team preferring not to expose him to game contact due to his playing style, coach Jon Gruden says that Peterman "will start and Peterman will finish, until I get better information." Based on that comment, the Raiders have no plans to put Carr in harm's way this weekend, with his next game appearance destined to occur Sept. 13, when Las Vegas hosts Baltimore in a Monday Night Football matchup.
