What happened to Jimmy Garoppolo? Raiders QB taken to hospital after suffering injury vs Patriots

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a back injury in Week 6's game against the New England Patriots. The quarterback left the game and has been ruled out to return.

This is a huge blow for the Raiders who were poised to win this game. In Garoppolo's absence, Brian Hoyer will lead the offense, as the former Patriots player and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will try to lead the Raiders to get the win over Bill Belichick.

Update: Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Raiders believe it's too early to rule on Garoppolo's fitness for Week 7. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added that there's also the possibility that he could miss the game against the Bears next week. Were that to happen, rookie Aidan O'Connell is likely to be under center.
