Raiders will need another long snapper as Jon Condo recovers from concussion

The Raiders will likely need to sign another long snapper until starter Jon Condo recovers from the concussion he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Chargers.

Long snapper Jon Condo suffered a concussion in the second quarter against San Diego, Raiders coach Dennis Allen said.

“He’ll have to be cleared medically, so I don’t know at what point that would happen, but we’ve obviously got some plans in place in case he’s not ready to play.”

Those contingency plans undoubtedly involve signing a free agent long snapper if Condo is forced to miss Sunday’s game. Backup long snapper Travis Goethel had a nightmare game against San Diego. He bounced one punt and rolled another to Shane Lechler. The Raiders also had a punt blocked.

Allen took the blame for not having Goethel, who hadn’t long-snapped since high school, practice long snaps during full-team drills.

“That falls on me,” Allen said. “I’ve got to do a better job of making sure we’re prepared for all those different situations.”

Starting left cornerback Ron Bartell is scheduled to have an MRI on a shoulder. He was hurt midway through the second quarter and didn’t return.

In another development, the Raiders announced they have signed fullback Marcel Reece to a contract extension.
