Injured Shoulder Could End Condo's Season With Raiders

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - One day after not having a backup long-snapper nearly proved costly, the Oakland Raiders could be in the market for a starter.

Jon Condo suffered a dislocated right shoulder while recovering a fumble early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 15-12 win over the Denver Broncos.

Although Condo returned and finished the game, Oakland coach Jack Del Rio said that tests Monday revealed a potentially season-ending injury. A roster move could be coming later this week.

Tight end Lee Smith, who is listed as the team's backup long-snapper, is still recovering from wrist surgery and was unable to play after the Raiders scored a touchdown.

With both snappers out and his team leading by three points at the time, Del Rio opted to go for a two-point conversion that failed.
