Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol following Sunday night’s 23–18 loss to the Steelers, Las Vegas coach Josh McDaniels said Monday.
Even though Garoppolo played the entire game against Pittsburgh, he missed his postgame media availability while he was undergoing medical evaluation. The 31-year-old must be fully cleared before he can return to action. The Raiders’ next game is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET at the Chargers.
It’s unknown at this time whether a specific play caused the injury to Garoppolo. He was sacked four times by the Steelers.
