The Las Vegas Raiders provided a brutal update on the injury status of Jimmy Garoppolo on Friday. Garoppolo sustained a couple of injuries in the Raiders Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Garoppolo has been battling through a heady injury this week.
The 1-2 Raiders will play the 1-2 Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. It’s a must-win game for the Raiders if they want a chance to stay in the playoff hunt in October.
But they might be missing their starting quarterback when they play Justin Herbert and the Chargers.

That’s not the news Raiders fans were hoping to hear on Friday. Garoppolo must pass all phases of the protocol to be cleared to play the Chargers.
Bryan Hoyer is listed as the Raiders QB2. That’s not an ideal situation for the Raiders, who will need to put up plenty of points to match the Chargers in Week 4.
