Raiders: Derek Carr denies report that he cried during game

Derek Carr hurt his arm during the Raiders' Week 6 loss against the Seahawks, and as Oakland fell to 1-5 on the season, a video circulated on Twitter that appeared to show a crying Carr shout for help.

That led to Monday's report in The Athletic that Carr had lost his teammates possibly because of that "crying" video.

Via The Athletic:

Raiders headquarters is not the best space for Carr. The belief in him has deteriorated, perhaps to irreparable levels. Team sources describe a fractured relationship between Carr and his teammates, mostly because confidence in him has waned. It certainly didn't help when film showed what looked like him crying after being sacked and injuring his arm. They saw his face. They heard his whimper. They witnessed him explain on the sidelines. They assuredly watched it again in film session. It's hard to see how Carr can lead this team again.

Obviously, a video shot from a TV screen lacked context and clarity, as Carr was hurt on the play. But Carr couldn't stay silent on reports of his crying.

When his brother, Darren, took to Twitter to defend Derek, the Raiders quarterback responded to deny that he ever cried.

"Not one tear. Not one time," Derek wrote.

The Raiders were on the bye this week, and Carr is expected to be at full strength for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.
