Jimmy Garoppolo Won't Play In Week 7

Jimmy Garoppolo Won't Play In Week 7

one year ago

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) has been ruled out for the Las Vegas Raiders' Week 7 game against the Chicago Bears. Garoppolo was injured on a play in Week 6 and was removed from the game and later taken to a local medical facility. With Garoppolo out, the Raiders are left to decide between Brian Hoyer and Aidan O'Connell for Sunday's start. Hoyer took the reins in Week 6 and went 6-for-10 for 102 yards. O'Connell covered Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers when Garoppolo was dealing with a concussion and went 24-for-39 for 238 passing yards with an interception and three fumbles. If their recent performances in Garoppolo's stead indicate future decisions it will likely be Hoyer getting the nod, but fantasy managers should watch for more news until the Raiders make it official.
