Raiders CB Gareon Conley suffered an injury during the third quarter of Monday night’s game and was taken off the field on a stretcher. 

Conley was attempting to make a tackle when his teammate’s leg inadvertently hit him in the head. 

The Raiders have already ruled him out with a neck injury. 

The good news is that Conley was able to give a thumbs-up as he was taken off the field.

Conley, 24, is a former first-round pick of the Raiders back in 2017. He’s currently in the third year of his four-year, $10.46 million contract and set to make a base salary of $1.41 million for the 2019 season. 

Conley’s contract includes a fifth-year option for the Raiders to pick up in 2020. 

In 2018, Conley appeared in 15 games and recorded 37 tackles, three interceptions, one defensive touchdown and 15 pass defenses.
