Raiders coach Dennis Allen said he doesn't think the injury will be a long-term issue.

“He came in yesterday afternoon with a little soreness in his elbow,’’ Allen said. “`We’ll see where he’s at tomorrow and kind of take that day by day.’’

Rookie quarterback Derek Carr practiced with the first-team offense on Sunday. Oakland's other options at quarterback are Matt McGloin and Trent Edwards.

Schaub passed for 2,310 yards, 10 touchdowns and 14 interceptions last season for the Houston Texans.
