So far, there are conflicting reports as to what the injury is, but it seems apparent he will not return. Especially with the Raiders already behind 38-7.

McGloin coming in for Derek Carr, who appeared to suffer a left knee injury. Tried to tough it out, but couldn't put weight on his leg.

#Raiders QB Derek Carr has ankle and knee injuries. His return is questionable, but I don't see it.

Carr was 15-25 for 147 yards with a touchdown and an interception prior to his exit. McGloin completed his first pass for 16 yards, then fumbled the snap on his second that Miami returned for a touchdown.
On his second drive, McGloin threw an interception, so things have gone from bad to worse for the Raiders in London.
This is the annual NFL game in London. the league keeps testing the British market, and have plans to have an NFL team in London by 2022.
My only question is: will they be better than the current installment of the Raiders?
