The Oakland Raiders may have emerged as the winners of their Week 1 meeting with the Denver Broncos, but the loss of rookie safety Johnathan Abram certainly put a damper on the night. That said, one player’s misfortune is another’s opportunity as Juston Burris is about to find out.
Abram suffered a torn rotator cuff and labrum in Monday night’s game after laying a big hit stick on Broncos receiver DaeSean Hamilton late in the first half. The injury will unfortunately end his season which allowed the Raiders to use his roster spot to sign another player.
