Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo: Won't play against Chargers

Garoppolo (concussion) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Garoppolo practiced on a limited basis Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable following the latter session. However, since he was unable to gain clearance from the league's five-step concussion protocol and didn't make the trip to Los Angeles, Garoppolo will end up sitting out for the first time this season. The Raiders have yet to announce who will start at quarterback in Garoppolo's place, but veteran Brian Hoyer has been active as the No. 2 signal-caller in each of the team's first three games and is likely to get the nod over rookie Aidan O'Connell. The loss of Garoppolo is a hit to the fantasy stocks of both Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers, though Adams should still should approach, if not surpass, double-digit targets. Garoppolo will look to return Week 5 against the Packers.
