Raiders' Malcolm Koonce Out for Season with Knee Injury

The Las Vegas defensive end suffered a torn ACL in practice before Week 1 and will undergo surgery.

  • Malcolm Koonce, 26, sustained a serious knee injury in practice on September 5, just days before the Raiders' season opener.
  • Koonce, who recorded eight sacks and three forced fumbles last season, will miss the entire 2024 season due to a torn ACL.
  • The Raiders placed Koonce on injured reserve on September 8, and he is set to undergo surgery next week.
  • Tyree Wilson, the Raiders' 2023 first-round pick, will return from a knee injury to play in the home opener against the Carolina Panthers.
  • Maxx Crosby, who has all three of the Raiders' sacks this season, remains the team's primary pass rusher amid Koonce's absence.
