The Oakland Raiders haven't yet won a game in 2014, but they will have Derek Carr back at the helm as they attempt to end that losing streak and topple the San Diego Chargers in Week 6, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Carr, 23, was listed as questionable to make a fifth consecutive start after suffering a high ankle sprain and a sprained MCL in a Week 4 game against the Miami Dolphins in London. A Week 5 bye was enough time for the rookie to heal up though, and he will take the reins of the offense once again on Sunday.
After Carr was selected early in the second round with the No. 36 overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft, he was originally expected to sit behind Matt Schaub in Oakland; however, he won the job in preseason and started for the Raiders in Week 1.
Through four games with the Raiders, Carr has tallied 734 yards passing, four touchdowns and four interceptions. The Raiders have yet to score more than 14 points in a game and rank last in points scored and yardage gained. After a fourth consecutive loss to begin the year, Dennis Allen was fired from his position as the team’s coach and is currently being replaced by Tony Sparano as the interim head coach.
