The Las Vegas Raiders‘ roster is in for a major shakeup this season.
After moving on from Derek Carr during the offseason, the Raiders quickly pivoted, signing Jimmy Garoppolo.
While there was initial excitement about Garoppolo, recent news about his surgery has been worrisome to many.
Despite this public worry, Josh McDaniels has maintained, “I have no anxiety, feel pretty good about it,” per NFL.com.

As the Raiders’ roster is currently constructed, Brian Hoyer would be their likely starter if Garoppolo is unable to play.
The Raiders employ Garoppolo, Hoyer, and Chase Garbers, which make up their quarterback room.
There have been recent rumors that Tom Brady could return to the field in an emergency circumstance.
However, his aspirations to be an investor in the club could be a conflict of interest.
To make a long story short, this situation with Garoppolo and the Raiders could take several weeks to find a resolution.
While fans wait to see how the story unfolds, McDaniels continues to downplay the situation.
Later on in his press conference, McDaniels said, “I don’t worry about the things I can’t control.”
This doubled down on his earlier statements, further reiterating that everything is fine within the organization.
Whether this is just damage control or genuine remains to be seen.
For now, fans and NFL media do have an update from the coach himself, which is all they can hope for at the moment.
This is a developing story, and there will be more details to follow in the weeks to come.
