Oakland Derek Carr will have surgery Sunday for a broken right fibula and is out indefinitely.

Raiders coach Jack Del Rio announced the severity of Carr’s injury after Oakland beat Indianapolis 33-25 on Saturday.

Carr was twisted to the ground by Indianapolis linebacker Trent Cole on a sack with the Raiders leading, 33-14, in the fourth quarter. Carr stayed on the ground for several minutes in pain as trainers came out to treat him. Video showed an emotional Carr, while grabbing his leg, shouting to the sideline what appeared to be, “It’s broke.”

With the crowd chanting “M-V-P! M-V-P!” Carr limped off the field without putting any pressure on his right leg. Carr was taken off the sideline by cart.

The Raiders have clinched their first playoff berth since 2002 and can win the division and earn a first-round bye with another win or a Kansas City loss.

Carr is the second quarterback to break his right fibula Saturday. Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota broke his right leg earlier in a 38-17 loss to Jacksonville.
