Garoppolo won’t play against Chargers, leaving Raiders starting QB a mystery

Associated Press  

HENDERSON, Nev. — Jimmy Garoppolo was ruled out of Sunday’s game at the Los Angeles Chargers because of a concussion, making the Las Vegas Raiders’ starting quarterback a mystery. Either 15-year veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell will start in place of Garoppolo, who has been in concussion protocol after getting injured Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also, the Raiders announced that starting cornerback Nate Hobbs will not play because of an ankle injury, and running back Brandon Bolden didn’t make the trip to Los Angeles because of personal reasons. “The mentality is always prepare to play and then go out and execute when your name’s called.” The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season!
