Colts linebacker Trent Cole was as unsure about the extent of Derek Carr’s injury just after the game Saturday as anyone outside the Raiders organization.

“There was no intent,” Cole reportedly said, before and after hearing what became of Carr after exiting the game in the fourth quarter.

Cole’s experience of finding out that Carr had a broken fibula and would require surgery was captured in a column by Gregg Doyel of the Indianapolis Star. Related Articles Inside the Raiders: Play or don’t play? A weekly dilemma in a brutal sport

“Things happen, and it sucks that it happened,” Cole said before Doyel told him the news Raiders coach Jack Del Rio shared in his postgame comments that Carr is out indefinitely. “He loves to play football just like I love to play football. I hope he’s OK, man. I really do.”

Doyel, who reminded Cole no one thinks he intended to hurt Carr, decided to tell Cole that Carr’s fibula is broken.

His immediate response? Wrote Doyel: “Cole is looking at me and now he’s looking away.”

“There was no intent,” Cole said again. Doyel notes that those words were spoken “softly,” with Cole “looking down, not responding as I pat his shoulder and tell him goodbye.”

Cole repeated the phrase a few times.

“I’m walking away when I hear him again, his tired voice carrying in a quiet locker room,” Doyel wrote.

“There was no intent,” Cole said.
