Jimmy Garoppolo Suffers Back Injury Against Patriots, Could Miss Time

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had to leave the game following an injury to his back during the first half against the New England Patriots. Garappolo was then transferred to a local hospital to get his back evaluated. 

Garoppolo was replaced by Brian Hoyer, who helped the Raiders to a 21-17 win against the New England Patriots. Hoyer went on to complete 6 out of 10 passes for 102 yards. While Garoppolo finished 14 out of 22 passes for 162 yards, a touchdown and an interception. 

While he avoided anything serious, there is a chance Garoppolo will not be able to play during their Week 7 game. 

Several of his teammates have commented on Garoppolo’s injury.

“It’s sad whenever you see, especially a leader in the locker room, get hurt or go through injuries, but it’s also part of the game, man,” Raiders running back Josh Jacobs said. “I mean, we’re praying for him; we’re hoping he can get back as soon as he can. But we hope that the next guy is ready to step up too.”

“Certainly, I’m hoping for a healthy quarterback room, in general. And I thought Jimmy was doing some good things, obviously, before he got twisted or hit. So, we’ll just patiently see what this is going to be, and we’ll make the best decision we can,” head coach Josh McDaniels said.

Garoppolo entered Week 6 with 917 passing yards, six touchdowns and seven interceptions.

The Raiders, who are 3-3, face the Chicago Bears, who are 1-5, on October 22.
