Update: Garoppolo appears to have been taken by an ambulance from the stadium, per Heidi Fang. Hopefully it is just the team being cautious with his back injury.
I just saw Jimmy Garoppolo get into an ambulance and he’s being transported from the stadium now. Just happened to be walking in tunnels and saw him get in. #Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a lower leg injury in Week 6 against the Patriots. He walked off the field of his own accord, but headed to the locker room after talking to trainers on the sidelines. Brian Hoyer is Garoppolo’s backup. Before the injury, Garoppolo had 162 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
Jimmy G banged up pretty good. Kind of threw his helmet down when he got to the sideline, then immediately took a seat on the bench to talk to trainers. Now he’s headed to the locker room. Looks like a foot/lower leg
