OAKLAND -- Oakland Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley sustained a neck injury and was strapped to a gurney and taken off the field on a cart with 5:06 remaining in the third quarter of the Raiders' season opener against the Denver Broncos on Monday night.
Conley gave a thumbs up with his right hand as he was moved.
The injury came on a play down the right sideline as Conley was trying to take down Broncos running back Royce Freeman on a 27-yard run. Raiders safety Johnathan Abram caught Conley on the top of his helmet with a leg whip as he hit Freeman.
