The Raiders have reached out to quarterback Christian Ponder, who is interested in returning to Oakland, sources told ESPN. Ponder was released when Oakland reduced its roster to 53 at the end of the preseason.

The Raiders are in need of quarterback depth after starter Derek Carr injured his hand in Sunday's season opener against the Bengals. He was replaced by Matt McGloin.

Sources told ESPN that it is unlikely Carr will play Week 2 against the Ravens.

Ponder turned down the chance to work out for the Eagles on Tuesday, citing family reasons, per ESPN.
