The Las Vegas Raiders defense suffered a big blow as defensive tackle Darius Philon is out for the playoffs with a “significant” knee injury.
Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said Monday that the exact extent of Philon’s injury is not yet known, but it is serious. His season is done.
It was the only significant injury the Raiders suffered in their playoff-clinching 35-32 overtime home win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. Philon was injured with about two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and had to be carted off the field.
