Raiders face early setback with Elandon Roberts’ elbow injury against Patriots

The Las Vegas Raiders encountered a challenging start to their Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots, as linebacker Elandon Roberts suffered an injury early in the game. Just minutes into the first quarter, Roberts went down, visibly in distress and seemingly grasping his arm.

Signed by the Raiders in free agency to bolster their defensive lineup, Roberts’ absence would be a significant blow for the team. He lay on the field for some time before being assisted off, raising concerns about the severity of his condition.
