The Oakland Raiders and the Green Bay Packers are playing one another as the third week of the preseason rolls along on Friday night, and it has not been void of any action. However, in one instance, the action was scary as it appeared Oakland linebacker Sio Moore was seriously hurt.

Now Moore’s injury could indeed be considered serious, but not serious as it initially appeared. Moore was down on the field for an extended period of time after a vicious hit, and the medical personnel were brought onto the field.
They put Moore on the cart, and upon taking him off of the field, he gave everyone the sign they were looking for, the thumbs up.

At this point, there is no initial diagnosis as to what could be wrong with the Raiders’ linebacker, however when we are able to get that information, we will pass that along as soon as possible.
It should also be noted that, once again, Moore giving the thumbs up drew the biggest roar from the Packers crowd, showing once again that they’re one of the classiest fan bases in the NFL.
