Raiders in "wait and see" mode with Derek Carr, Sio Moore availability

Derek Carr and Sio Moore were both limited again in practice for the second-straight day. Carr's status coming into the week as uncertain with what he described as a high ankle sprain and a sprained MCL. Yet, he has not missed a practice and it continues to look as if he will be a go for the game. Still head coach Tony Sparano is not ready to be so certain.

"Carr's continuing to improve," said Sparano. "I thought he was better than he was yesterday and again I'll say we'll see where he is tomorrow. These kind of things you just gotta wait and see and see where we are. But he's a little bit better today than I think he was yesterday."

"Good. He looks good. He's got a great attitude," said Greg Olson. "He's physically tough player in my mind. I think he's a guy that wouldn't have come off the field a week ago [against Miami] if we hadn't have drug him off the field. He's a tough player and he'll do whatever he needs to do to be ready."

After missing two weeks with an injured ankle, Sio Moore returned this week. The Raiders could very much use his services this week to bolster their beleaguered linebacking corps. Sparano says Sio's situation is very much like Carr's.

"He was good today," said Sparano. "Again, probably a little bit better, like Derek. Both of those things are gonna take a little bit each day that you look at it so when we get back here in the morning. But they've done a good job of taking care of them. Sio got a little bit more work today than he did yesterday."

At this juncture, it would appear Derek Carr is likely to start this week against the Chargers. He appears to be taking all the first team reps. Sio Moore is less certain but there is still hope he could be ready to go.

Missing practice again today was Khalif Barnes. If he can't go Friday, Menelik Watson will start at right tackle Sunday.
