Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo Taken to Hospital After Suffering Back INjury vs. Patriots

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.

Per Grant Gordon of NFL.com, Garoppolo was transported to the hospital.

Veteran backup Brian Hoyer entered the game in his place.

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.
