Watching live, it appeared as if a routine running play. However with 7:39 to use the very first quarter, Battery chargers left tackle Marcus McNeill, tugging to bar for running back Ryan Matthews, was met mind on by Raiders linebacker Aaron Curry.
McNeill, listed at 6-7, 336 pounds, is five inches taller and 81 pounds heavier than Curry. However it was Curry who had the leverage around the play. He made an appearance hitting McNeill under his face, and also the Battery chargers tackle fell backwards striking his mind around the turf. He left the area on the trolley.
Based on National football league Network sideline reporter Alex Flanagan, the Battery chargers are calling the injuries a neck stinger and the return is doubtful (Update: it's official -- McNeill will not return). Brandyn Dombrowski will replace McNeill.
National football league Network color analyst Mike Mayock stated that losing McNeill implies that Concord pass rushers Lamarr Houston and Jarvis Moss, due to their speed, could create game trouble for San Diego's takes up.
The Raiders have injuries issues that belongs to them Darren McFadden did not play for that second consecutive game and wide receiver and returner Jacoby Ford limped from the area having a left ankle injuries with 4:51 left within the first quarter. He went lower after carrying inside a slightly underthrown 41-yard pass from Carson Palmer. If Palmer had hit Ford in stride, it would have been a simple touchdown. Ford also going to the locker room on the trolley.
