The Raiders’ initial assessment labeled his return as doubtful, but he was eventually ruled out and taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
According to reports by Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Garoppolo could potentially miss playing time as a result of his back injury.
Although the specific nature of the injury remains undisclosed, tests were conducted to rule out any internal damage.
While it is believed that the injury is not overly serious, it may still be enough to sideline him for Week 7.
The Raiders have been tight-lipped about Garoppolo’s condition, providing minimal information beyond confirming that he has a back injury and is undergoing tests at the hospital.
