NAPA, Calif. (AP) -Oakland Raiders offensive lineman Khalif Barnes was expected to miss the start of the regular season after an MRI revealed a fractured left ankle.
Barnes, who signed a one-year contract with the Raiders in March, was injured when offensive lineman James Marten blocked defensive end Ryan Boschetti into the back of Barnes’ left leg during a team scrimmage Tuesday. Barnes collapsed in a heap and lay prone for several moments as trainers checked his knee and ankle.
He eventually limped off the field and was taken to a hospital for the MRI that revealed a fracture. He is expected to be out six to eight weeks.
