Raiders' Patrick Johnson: Lands on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Raiders placed Johnson (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.
Johnson was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets due to a neck injury. He'll now be required to miss at least four games, and his next chance to play is Week 12 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 29. His absence means the Raiders will have one less regular contributor on special teams and not as much depth at the linebacker position.
