Oakland Raiders safety Johnathan Abram’s rookie season has come to an end.
Raiders coach Jon Gruden confirmed Abram’s status on Wednesday, two days after the first-round draft pick sustained a torn labrum in his shoulder in Oakland’s 24-16 win over Denver.
The Mississippi State product will undergo surgery.
Gruden said Tuesday he felt Abram was a “little bit too reckless” but otherwise had a good outing in his regular-season debut. Abram played 43 of 57 defensive snaps.
With cornerback Gareon Conley (neck) uncertain for Sunday, the Raiders are likely to make at least one roster move to make the defensive backfield better equipped to handle Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) this Sunday.
