Great news!!!
Oakland Raiders star cornerback Gareon Conley tells TMZ Sports the X-rays on his neck following that scary injury on "Monday Night Football" came out good ... and he expects to play next week!
Conley was laid out on the field for roughly 10 minutes after suffering a neck injury while trying to tackle Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman.
It appeared Conley took heavy impact from hard-hitting Raiders' teammate Jhonathan Abram -- who assisted on the tackle. Conley was eventually carried off the field on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
