Derek Carr steps away from Las Vegas Raiders after surprise benching

• Raiders bench Carr, will start Stidham for final two games
• Carr has been the team's starting quarterback since 2014

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has missed only three games in nine years, all because of injury. Now, for the first time, he won't play because of what coach Josh McDaniels said Wednesday were offensive performance reasons.

McDaniels not only will start Jarrett Stidham the final two weeks, including Sunday's home game against the San Francisco 49ers, but Carr will be inactive. Practice squad quarterback Chase Garbers will be the backup.
