Injuries pile up for Raiders in season opener vs Chargers

This camp and preseason the Raiders have been very careful to try and keep their players healthy. Then they took the field to play and watched their guys one-by-one hobble off the field.

CB Anthony Averett left with a thumb injury and did not return. This injury may have been what prompted the team to sign CB Nickell Roby-Coleman Monday morning.

LB Denzel Perryman left with an ankle injury and didn’t return.

RB Brandon Bolden left with a hamstring injury and did not return.

WR DJ Turner left with an ankle injury.

Andre James suffered an apparent concussion on the final play for the Raiders and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital following the game.
