The Raiders may have had some players suffer long-term injuries in their win over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.

Gerald McCoy was carted off with a knee injury. Denzelle Good suffered a torn ACL that will keep him out for the season. And Marcus Mariota reaggravated a quad injury.

Gruden says there is concern for long-term injuries to DT Gerald McCoy, RG Denzelle Good and…backup QB Marcus Mariota.

Raiders head coach Jon Gruden says that he planned to use Mariota more on Monday but the backup quarterback strained his quad.

Mariota had a quad strain in the preseason and re-injured it last night. Gruden said he planned to use Mariota a lot more last night. "We lost a big piece of our offense." #Raiders

Mariota scampered for a 31-yard run during the game and could have done more damage if he didn’t get hurt.

In addition to McCoy, Mariota and Good, Yannick Ngakoue suffered a knee injury in the game. It’s unclear how much time, if any, Mariota and Ngakoue might miss. The Raiders visit the Steelers in Week 2.
