According to Ian Rapoport, the Las Vegas Raiders running back broke his ankle in the loss to the Washington Football Team.

He is expected to miss the rest of the season.

Drake was carted off the field in the first half after taking a big hit from a trio of Washington players. Josh Jacobs said Drake told him his ankle was broken when he left.

The tackle that injured him should be an illegal form of tackling like a horse collar according to the former third-round pick. He said that the league would rather flag players for taunting than for high ankle sprains and broken bones. Let's get the priorities in order.

Drake agreed to a two-year contract with the Raiders that could be worth up to $14.5 million. He entered Sunday's game with two touchdown runs in 11 contests. He had 29 catches for 283 yards and a touchdown.

The running back has been one of the most durable in the league since being drafted. He played in all 16 games for the Miami Dolphins. He played in 14 games for the Dolphins and the Cards in the two seasons before moving to the Cards in 2020.

Drake's best season was in 2020 when he ran for a career-high 955 yards and 10 touchdown on 239 carries. He caught 25 passes for 137 yards.

With Drake out, there will be more playing time for both Richard and Barber. The duo has combined for 154 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Jacobs is Las Vegas' top running back. He was leading the team with 423 yards and six touchdown on 112 carries, in addition to 30 catches for 198 yards.

The Raiders lost to Washington on Sunday, dropping them to sixth on the season.
