One of the Raiders’ notable free agent additions could be lost for the season.
Defensive end
LaMarr Woodley suffered a torn bicep in Sunday’s loss to Arizona, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported Wednesday night. The injury is thought to be season-ending, according to Rapoport.
Earlier, Raiders coach Tony Sparano indicated Woodley had suffered a potentially “
serious” bicep injury, per Fallon Smith of CSN Bay Area.
The 29-year-old Woodley has played in each of Oakland’s first six games, logging 295 snaps, according to
Pro Football Focus data. However, Woodley has been credited with just five tackles, and he has yet to notch a sack.
Woodley joined the Raiders in the offseason after spending six seasons with Pittsburgh. He is in the first year of a
two-year contract.
Benson Mayowa is listed as the top backup to Woodley at
defensive end.
