Derek Carr did suffer another concussion on Sunday (Lions). That is #2 in a month. Per Allen he's also being evaluated for a rib injury.

I'm no doctor but you don't want to be out there gambling with concussions. Shut him down.

Side note - Malcolm Roach also suffered a knee injury that could require surgery, pending final eval.

Presuming the league doesn't step in I'm sure we'll make every effort to rush Derek back before he's ready and overrule the spineless medical staff. This is a recurring theme going back to the Payton days.

There seems to be a predictable rhythm going:

Carr plays horrible -> Carr plays nominally better -> Carr takes a hard hit and gets knocked out of the game -> Carr comes back next week and plays abysmal because he's still banged up -> (Back to step 1)
