The Las Vegas Raiders didn't make it out of the first quarter of their Week 1 game against the New England Patriots without an injury.

Linebacker Elandon Roberts went down with an injury in the first quarter. It appeared Roberts was holding his arm and he looked to be in significant pain.

Roberts, who was signed by the Raiders in free agency to start, stayed down on the field before exiting the field. Unfortunately, it doesn't look good for him.

Here's the latest update on Roberts.

UPDATE: The Raiders announced that Roberts is dealing with an elbow injury and is questionable to return.

END OF UPDATE

Roberts was tended to by trainers on the field before walking off under his own power. He was clearly favoring his arm.

Roberts is going to the blue medical tent to be evaluated further. We should get an update from the Raiders shortly, and we'll update this page when that happens.
