Carr threw three touchdown passes to lead Oakland to its 12th win of the season on Christmas Eve in 2016, but got knocked out late in that game with a broken ankle.
He has had to deal with reports that unidentified teammates have lost faith in him and his toughness has been questioned.
His legacy as the best clutch kicker in history began with two kicks in the "Snow Bowl", one to force overtime and one to beat Oakland in overtime.
The 49ers placed Colbert on injured reserve Monday and signed quarterback Tom Savage to a one-year contract to take his roster spot.
Soon after Jon Gruden arrived for his second stint as Oakland Raiders coach last winter he called Amari Cooper a "focal point" of the offense and pointed to Khalil Mack as a reason why he came back to coaching.
Aaron Donald and a dominant defense kept taking the ball away for Los Angeles and Todd Gurley turned those turnovers into touchdowns to keep the Rams unbeaten after seven games.

It's been a perplexing season for San Francisco's defensive coordinator, as Saleh has found it difficult to get his young unit to string together four quarters of mistake-free football.
The leg took a few months to heal, but Carr hasn't been the same quarterback since, even with the coaching change that brought Jon Gruden to Oakland.
Despite playing with a backup quarterback with starter Jimmy Garoppolo sidelined for the season, the 49ers offense has shown signs of being productive of late even if it hasn't led to wins.
Quarterback Russell Wilson threw touchdown passes to Brown, Moore and Tyler Lockett, and the Seahawks rolled to a 27-3 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
The Hornets continued to have trouble stopping the run, allowing five touchdowns and 259 yards rushing by Southern Utah,
The defense has generated a league-low three takeaways for the fewest total for the franchise after five games since 1977.
It's week nine for high school football and only a few games stand between the best teams and playoffs.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees broke Peyton Manning's record for most passing yards in NFL history Monday night, but it was Manning who stole the show.
Breida underwent an MRI on Monday that showed a "serious sprain" to his left ankle, according to coach Kyle Shanahan.
A lopsided loss to the Los Angeles Chargers looked like a step back, even if coach Jon Gruden tried to put a positive spin on the game Monday.
Philip Rivers threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Los Angeles Chargers to a 26-10 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Three of San Francisco's five starting offensive linemen - left tackle Joe Staley, center Weston Richburg and right tackle Mike McGlinchey - suffered knee injuries.
"It feels like my first win in 100 years," he said. "It's great to be back."
After all they've been through, a two-touchdown deficit wasn't going to faze the Los Angeles Chargers.
Matt Breida, among the NFL leaders in rushing, and Alfred Morris both were limited in practice Friday and are listed as questionable.
He was adamant that his strained left calf is not related to his other more serious leg problems of the past year.
