Raiders CB Gareon Conley Stretchered Off vs. Broncos, Ruled Out With Neck Injury

Raiders third-year CB Gareon Conley was carted off vs. the Broncos with an apparent neck injury.

Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley was ruled out of Monday night's game against the Broncos after he was carted off in the third quarter with a neck injury, the team announced. 

Conley went down after taking a hit to the head from teammate Johnathan Abram, who ran into Conley as he was trying to tackle Denver’s Royce Freeman. The cart came onto the field as the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum went quiet. 

As he was carted off, Conley gave a thumbs up to the Coliseum.
