The agent for Derek Carr has downplayed the seriousness of his injured ring finger.

"It's a very minor situation," agent Tim Younger told the San Francisco Chronicle. "I think he's probably going to be throwing before the end of [the Raiders' offseason workouts]."

Carr has experienced numbness in the finger, a source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen, a condition that can be nerve-related.

Christian Ponder is working with the first team in organized team activities, with Carr on the sideline.
