Oakland Raiders rookie safety Johnathan Abram suffered a torn rotator cuff and labrum against the Denver Broncos on Monday, according to Bleacher Report's Adam Lefkoe.
Abram will have surgery this week, and the injuries are believed to be season-ending, per Lefkoe.
The loss is a big blow for a Raiders defense that impressed in its 2019 debut, which resulted in a 24-16 home win over the Denver Broncos. Oakland held Denver to only six points until there was 8:39 left.
Abram did his part, amassing five tackles and one pass breakup for a secondary that shut down the Denver passing attack until the visitors mounted a fourth-quarter rally.
