Head coach Josh McDaniels was asked at a Monday press conference how close Jimmy Garoppolo was to getting back from his back injury for the Chicago game. He declined to put a number on it, but said that there’s hope about his ability to get back for next Monday night.

“That’s a medical thing,” McDaniels said. “I wouldn’t be able to put a percentage on that. I know he’s doing well, but that’s something they’ll let us know when it’s turned a corner. I’m hoping for this week, but I don’t have clarification yet.”

As the story said, Hoyer was 17-of-32 for 129 yards and two interceptions before being replaced by O’Connell. O’Connell started a game earlier this year when Garoppolo had a concussion, but McDaniels said he didn’t second guess the choice to go with Hoyer Sunday.

The injury isn't as significant as it looked, according to Rapoport. As we reported last night, Garoppolo left the stadium in an ambulance. Garoppolo could end up missing a game, but Rapoport made it seem like the injury wouldn't be long-term. Hoyer finished the game against New England but O'Connell could get the start in Week 7 if Jimmy G is out. The Raiders travel to play the Bears in Week 7 in what will be an early, Sunday game.

Garoppolo returns to a decent matchup against the Packers on Monday Night Football, but the true winners in fantasy are Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers. Both are respective WR1 and WR3 options for Week 5, while Josh Jacobs should get plenty of opportunities for success as well.

The Raiders ruled out quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for Week 4 against the Chargers with a concussion.

Garoppolo suffered the concussion in Week 3 against the Steelers and was not cleared in time to play Sunday. He did not even travel with the team to Los Angeles. This means either veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell will start against the Chargers. At least they likely won’t have to contend with Joey Bosa, who is doubtful.

Veteran Brian Hoyer would presumably get the start if Jimmy G misses Week 4, but it's not great news for the Raiders fantasy pieces whether he or Aidan O'Connell gets the green light.
