NFL bettors have had a lot to think about this week given the Jimmy Garappolo injury. The big, and obvious question on their mind was: is Jimmy Garoppolo playing?
The answer is in. Jimmy Garoppolo has been ruled out this week. He suffered a concussion late in Week 3 in the Las Vegas Raiders game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The news won’t just impact Jimmy G. The entire Raiders offense will be affected by the loss of Garoppolo, especially starting wideouts Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.
Let’s look at the recent Jimmy Garoppolo news to assess his absence and what it means for Week 4.
Jimmy Garoppolo Injury Update: Is Las Vegas’ Star Playing Sunday?
Jimmy Garoppolo Injury Update
Update on October 1 at 11:00 Eastern: The latest Jimmy Garoppolo injury update has the QB out.
The Pittsburgh Steelers notched four sacks against the Raiders last week, but it was the final one that knocked Jimmy Garoppolo out. Minkah Fitzpatrick sent him hard to the turf in the fourth quarter as the Raiders tried to mount a comeback. His absence should send shockwaves down the team’s offense. They have relied heavily on the passing game so far, but the absence of Jimmy G could force them to look more at Josh Jacobs.

Garoppolo was questionable to play all week after the injury he sustained the week prior. Now that we know Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t playing, fans and NFL bettors can start thinking about how the news affects Las Vegas Raiders NFL prop bets in Week 4. The Raiders will take on the Los Angeles Chargers, who have not been stellar defensively this season. The Chargers do have one of the strongest offenses, so the Raiders will still have to gameplan well in order to keep up.
Jimmy Garoppolo Not Playing for Las Vegas in Week 4
Brian Hoyer is expected to start in Jimmy Garoppolo’s place. The 37-year-old journeyman is in his first year with the Raiders after spending several reasons as a backup for the New England Patriots. Hoyer will try to manage the offense and get the ball into the hands of Adams and Meyers, as well as Josh Jacobs.
