Raiders Safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. Likely to Miss Season After Fibula Fracture

An MRI will assess the full extent of his broken fibula following a practice collision, with injured reserve looming for the veteran as he vows to stay in Las Vegas.

Overview

  • Johnson suffered a broken fibula during Saturday’s mock scrimmage at Allegiant Stadium when teammate Maxx Crosby rolled up on his leg.
  • Head coach Pete Carroll described the injury as “significant” after Johnson was carted off during training camp.
  • Medical staff will use MRI results to determine if additional damage exists before placing Johnson on injured reserve.
  • The 29-year-old safety signed a one-year contract in March and had been competing for a rotational role amid a retooled Raiders secondary.
  • Despite the setback, Johnson posted on X that he remains optimistic about his recovery and intends to retire with the Raiders.
