Raiders place S Marcus Epps on injured reserve with ACL injury

Starting safety Marcus Epps is headed to IR with an ACL injury.

Late in the third quarter, Raiders safety Marcus Epps went for a tackle and didn’t get back up. When he lunged for the tackle, his leg gave out without contact. Those are often the scariest injuries. Epps limped off the field and headed for the locker room.

Today the team placed him on injured reserve, and reports say he tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

Epps was in his second season with the Raiders as their full time starting strong safety. He was a valuable piece to the Raiders defense last season as a free agent signing from the Eagles and was looking to earn an extension or a new deal after this season.

Replacing Epps in the lineup was third year safety Isaiah Pola-Mao.

The former undrafted free agent out of USC was the team’s ‘big nickel’ and primary backup at both safety spots.

To fill Epps’s spot on the roster, the Raiders signed CB Sam Webb off the practice squad.

Raiders injury news: S Marcus Epps lost to knee injury late vs Panthers

Marcus Epps went down with a knee injury and didn’t return in Raiders Week 3 matchup with the Panthers

The game in Las Vegas was pretty insulting early in the fourth quarter. Then injury was added to that when safety Marcus Epps went down with what appeared to be a non-contact injury to his knee.

Epps laid on the field for a time being looked at by trainers. He would eventually limp off and into the locker room and not return.

The sixth year veteran is the starting strong safety for the Raiders and a big part of their defensive success over the latter half of last season.

With Epps out of the game, Isaiah Pola-Mao came in alongside Tre’von Moehrig.

The Raiders were unlikely to make a game of it in this one, but if Epps’s injury is serious, it would factor into the rest of their games this season.

This injury comes just a day after the news that Malcolm Koonce would be getting season-ending knee surgery. Koonce was another big piece on the Raiders resurgent defense last season.
