Hunter Renfrow is anxious to be back on the field.

Derek Carr is anxious for him to be back as well. After practice, Carr offered a needed update on Renfrow and where things stand for one of his go-to receivers.

"Yeah, he's definitely anxious," Carr said. "As football players, no one wants to get hurt, one, and no one wants to sit there and watch their team practice, go to workouts, go to games and you can't participate.

"That's the hardest thing I've ever experienced as an athlete is getting hurt and you can't be out there. You're missing the work; you feel like you're letting somebody down and sometimes there's nothing you can do. So yeah, there's that feeling. He's excited to hopefully be able to get out there and play and all that kind of stuff with what he's dealing with and all that kind of stuff."

"The doctors and all that will tell him, and he'll know when they're ready and all that kind of stuff," he added. "So, I don't know, but you can definitely tell he's anxious. The last couple of weeks he wanted to be out there, but obviously, the doctors are just trying to make sure that he's ready."

The last time Raiders fans saw Renfrow was against Arizona, where he contributed to one of the most memorable Raiders' collapses in team history. Since then, he's been battling an injury and has yet to be cleared by the team doctors.

To this point in the season, Renfrow has amassed 10 catches for 80 yards, with his longest reception going for 20 yards.
