NFL Week 4 injuries - Jimmy Garoppolo probably out, Bucs bruised on defense - ESPN

The Green Bay Packers, who have had their problems with injuries already this season, got a couple of players back on the offensive side of the ball, but it made little difference on Thursday night against the NFC North rival Detroit Lions.

The Lions throttled the Packers, 34-20, behind running back David Montgomery's three touchdowns. Montgomery had missed Week 3 with a thigh injury.

The Packers welcomed back running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson, but the Lions' defense was up to the challenge.

In other injury news, the Las Vegas Raiders are preparing to play without quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) on Sunday. New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (shoulder), who left the Raiders via free agency, also could be out.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be without as many as three defensive starters in the back seven.

The news was better in Carolina and Indianapolis, where rookie QBs Bryce Young (Panthers) and Anthony Richardson (Colts) are expected to return after missing last week's games.

Injury: Concussion

Garoppolo remained in the league's concussion protocol Friday morning, though he practiced limited both Thursday and Friday. If Garoppolo is not cleared to play at the Chargers, Raiders coach Josh McDaniels will have to choose between youth or inexperience, rookie Aidan O'Connell, a fourth-round draft pick from Purdue who has yet to be active for an NFL game, or 15th-year veteran Brian Hoyer, who last won an NFL start on Oct. 2, 2016, and is riding a 12-game losing streak as a starter.
