HENDERSON, Nev. -- Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Gerald McCoy suffered a season-ending left knee injury in Monday night's Week 1 overtime win against the Baltimore Ravens, a source confirmed Wednesday.

Raiders coach Jon Gruden said Tuesday that he feared McCoy had suffered a "long-term" injury, the same day it was revealed that right guard Denzelle Good had suffered a torn ACL in his left knee and was lost for the season.

McCoy and Good were placed on injured reserve Wednesday. The Raiders signed defensive tackle Damion Square and guard Jordan Simmons in corresponding moves.

Square, who was on the Chicago Bears' practice squad, played for Raiders defensive coordinator Gus Bradley with the Chargers. Simmons, who was on the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad, began his career with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2017.

The Raiders also made a move on their practice squad, signing veteran safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and releasing cornerback Madre Harper.

Defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (hamstring) and backup quarterback Marcus Mariota (quad) were also mentioned by Gruden as being injured.

For McCoy, 33, it is the second straight season the six-time Pro Bowler has had his season end early because of injury. He suffered a ruptured right quadriceps in training camp with the Dallas Cowboys in 2020 before signing a one-year, $1.25 million free-agent deal with Las Vegas on Aug. 4.

McCoy played nine defensive snaps against the Ravens -- a 33-27 victory -- and went down on a 49-yard pass from Lamar Jackson to Sammy Watkins with 6 minutes, 31 seconds to play in regulation before being carted off the field.

NFL Network was first to report that McCoy was lost for the season.

Las Vegas Raiders backup quarterback Marcus Mariota is an injury waiting to happen, and may not be back for quite some time.

Its a brand new football season, which unfortunately means also a brand new Marcus Mariota injury, as the 27-year-old quarterback aggravated his quad and will miss several weeks after injuring himself in his only play on Monday night. Apologies for the pessimistic start to this article, but numbers dont lie, and the injury list for Mariota is a long one:

It is rather unfortunate considering that the play Mariota went down on was a scramble for 31 yards, one of the longest gains for the Raiders the entire night. It had finally seemed that head coach Jon Gruden had found a way to get the dangerous backup quarterback on the field, but it did not last for long.

Mariota was never going to win the starting job in Las Vegas, despite whatever some Raider fans were expecting to believe, but he could be considered one of the most talented backup quarterbacks in the league. Now, this seems to be all speculation, as injuries have doomed him for most of his career.

However, at only 27-years-old, Mariota, if he can stay healthy, should have plenty of football left in him. The former No. 2 overall pick and Heisman Trophy winner had an up and down career as a starter for the Tennessee Titans, but most of his issues were not his play, but his availability.

After restructuring his contract this offseason, many around the league felt that Mariota would be traded to compete for a starting job elsewhere, but after spending the majority of the preseason and training camp injured, it seemed the same old story on Mariota had crept up once again.

The injury is annoying for the Silver and Black, but not unexpected. The reason to keep Nathan Peterman now seems even more logical considering that Mariota is out again.

The injury does not change the Raiders plans at all honestly, as Mariota has played very little in his Raiders career, and Nathan Peterman has a strong command of the playbook should anything happen to incumbent starter Derek Carr. Sure, it was rumored that the Raiders planned to get Mariota involved more, but at this point, that is all hearsay.

If Mariota comes back this season, which is more than likely, he will give the Raiders an added dimension of scrambling ability, but if he should not, or find a job elsewhere, the Raiders wouldnt feel the negative ramifications of this.
