The Las Vegas Raiders will have to manage without veteran defensive tackle Gerald McCoy moving forward in 2021. The six-time Pro Bowler suffered a knee injury in the Raiders’ wild win over Baltimore Ravens on Monday and will miss the remainder of the season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
McCoy spent only nine snaps on the field before getting hurt. He previously missed the entire 2020 after rupturing his right quadriceps during the training camp.
The Raiders did not disclose details of McCoy’s injury, only announcing that the 33-year-old player landed on the injured list. In a corresponding move, the team brought in Damion Square, signing the veteran off the Chicago Bears practice squad.
Square spent the 2020 season with the Los Angeles Chargers, playing all 16 games and making one start. He finished the season with 20 tackles, one sack, and two QB hits.
McCoy’s injury wasn’t the end of bad news for the Raiders as they also lost starting right guard Denzelle Good during the Ravens game. The franchise confirmed that Good has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. He will be replaced by Jordan Simmons, whose most recent stint was with the Seattle Seahawks.
