Oakland Raiders fans were holding their collective breath Sunday afternoon after quarterback Derek Carr appeared to hurt his pinkie finger against the Carolina Panthers.

Carr wasn’t injured because he was hit. It happened when he took a snap.

That finger definitely did not look good.

Although Carr left the game for one series, he did return after putting a glove on his throwing hand. Have to admire that toughness.

Raiders fans certainly did.
