Garoppolo suffered a back injury in the Week 6 win over the New England Patriots.
He was taken to a hospital for precautionary tests.

Though his actual injury has yet to be defined, Raiders head coach Josh Daniels indicated on Monday that it could have been much worse.
#Raiders coach Josh McDaniels tells reporters that on QB Jimmy Garoppolo (back), they dodged a bullet.
“The prognosis is a lot better than it might otherwise have been.”
Sounds like if he misses time, it won’t be much more than this week.
