We’ve heard a lot about injuries in training camp across the league of late. Now the Raiders have suffered their first seemingly serious camp injury.
On the first day in pads, Brandon Facyson went down with an apparent leg injury and had to be carted off the field.

It’s important to note that carts taking players off the field in practice is not the same as a cart coming out for a player in a game. In games, carts are wheeled in for seemingly serious injuries in which a player is unable to leave under their own power.
In camp, the carts are on hand for several reasons including as a precaution.
Even if the injury is serious, the team will have to run tests before they can comment on the severity of it, so the results may not be immediately available.
It’s worth keeping an eye on because Facyson is competing for a starting job with this team. In fact, he took to the podium just yesterday.
