Derek Carr is making significant progress in minicamp for the Oakland Raiders and has already bypassed Matt McGloin on the depth chart at quarterback.

The Raiders had believed Carr may need a "redshirt" year.

"We're trying to expedite his progression," Dennis Allen said, via CSN Bay Area. "I like a lot of the things that I've seen out of Derek. He's still got a long way to go, but I like the direction that he's headed."

Matt Schaub is the projected starter for the Raiders, but he could surely be beat out for the job.
