The Las Vegas quarterback's recovery is taking longer than expected

The Las Vegas Raiders‘ new quarterback Jimmy Garappolo will potentially miss the next two month with foot injury, he sustained at the end of last season.

This means that he will not take part in the team’s organized training sessions.

Head-coach Josh McDaniels revealed his disappointment about not being able to use Garoppolo.

“We’re always going to err at this time of the year on being smart,” McDaniels said. “We don’t play a football game for 3 1/2 months, so try to rush (players) out there in May, it’s a poor decision.”

Garappolo signed with the Raiders in March and said back then that he wouldn’t worry about certain complications, concerning his injury.

“You hate being in that situation,” he said. “But once I got past that initial part, especially once we started to make a little bit of a run in the playoffs last year, I was getting ready to ramp up again and be ready. But things didn’t work out, and I’m glad with how things ended up.”
