JIMMY G TO PLAY SUNDAY FOR L.V.

Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is out of concussion protocol and will start when Las Vegas hosts the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.

He went through practice Friday without restrictions for first time since getting hurt.

Garoppolo missed one game because of the concussion, Sunday’s 24-17 loss at the Chargers. Rookie Aidan O’Connell got the start.

“It was tough, but it is what it is,” Garoppolo said. “Got to move past it at this point, just focus on Green Bay. Makes everything easier when you have an opponent for next week and we have to focus on that. So the train isn’t stopping, have to jump on and keep rolling with it.”

He was injured Sept. 24 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but played the entire game. Garoppolo was checked for a potential concussion afterward.

“There were some hits that game, so it could’ve been a number of different ones,” Garoppolo said. “But really just after the game, the doctors grabbed me, started going through it, and next thing I knew I was in the protocol. So, weird situation, but we got through it.”

The Raiders (1-3) face a pivotal game against the Packers (2-2). Las Vegas has lost three games in a row.

“We’re getting there,” Garoppolo said. “Every day, it’s what we’re trying to do. We have to take care of the ball, starting with myself. I think that’s where it all starts. But after that it’s just about making plays. We’ve got playmakers all over the field, just have to get them the rock.”

Gregory to Broncos

The Broncos on Friday traded benched pass rusher Randy Gregory to the San Francisco 49ers in a deal that also includes the exchange of 2024 draft picks, with Denver sending over a seventhround selection for a sixthround choice.

Broncos coach Sean Payton confirmed the trade following Friday’s practice.

As part of the deal, the Broncos (1-3) are picking up the bulk of the $10.9 million remaining on Gregory’s salary this season.

The Broncos decided this week to move on from Gregory 18 months after signing him to a five-year, $70 million contract. He ended up playing in 10 of a possible 21 games for Denver, collecting three sacks and undergoing two surgeries.

He was benched last week at Chicago in favor of secondyear outside linebacker Nik Bonitto, who had 21⁄2 sacks, including a strip-sack of Justin Fields that led to the tying touchdown in the fourth quarter of Denver’s 3128 comeback win over the Bears.

Claypool to Dolphins

Chicago traded wide receiver Chase Claypool to the Miami Dolphins, ending the fourth-year player’s brief and disappointing tenure with the Bears.

The Dolphins will also receive a 2025 seventh-round pick in the trade in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round pick, the teams announced.

Claypool was told to stay away from the team for a Week 4 matchup with the Broncos as well as Thursday’s game against the Commanders. He was a healthy scratch both games.

Notable

Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari’s season is over. He hopes his NFL career isn’t.

He’s set to undergo his fifth knee surgery to give himself a chance at playing again, Bakhtiari said when he spoke with reporters for nearly 40 minutes in the team’s Lambeau Field locker room trying to explain what he’s endured since suffering a left knee injury during a Dec. 31, 2020, practice.

“My goal is to be ready for training camp next year,” he said.
