The Raiders will start veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer on Sunday against the Bears in place of Jimmy Garoppolo, according to multiple reports.
The news was broken by The Athletic’s Dianna Russini on Friday and confirmed by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Garoppolo suffered a back injury last Sunday against the Patriots, missing the second half as he was transported to a hospital. Hoyer relieved Garoppolo, his first action of the regular season, leading Las Vegas to a victory with 102 passing yards.
