Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo Out vs. Patriots with Back Injury; Brian Hoyer Replaces

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots after suffering a back injury, the team announced.

Veteran backup Brian Hoyer entered the game in place of Garoppolo.

Prior to his exit, Garoppolo had completed 14 of his 22 passes for 162 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Garoppolo was forced to miss the Raiders' Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers due to a concussion that he suffered in the previous week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell started in his place and threw for 238 yards and an interception on 24-of-39 passing while also adding a rushing touchdown.
