Raiders first-round pick Johnathan Abram suffered a torn rotator cuff and labrum during the first quarter of Monday’s victory over the Denver Broncos.
Abram was never removed from the game, but according to the report, the injury suffered will need surgery and could sideline him for the remainder of the season. ESPN reports that Abram will seek a second opinion on the injury suffered from Monday night’s game.
Abram, most notably is known for delivering viscous hits on the ball carrier, will be a huge loss for Paul Guenther’s defense as he was slotted in to start alongside Karl Joseph as the two ballhawking safeties.
