Week 1 of the NFL season brings plenty of injuries, here's what you need to know.
It was a sight all too familiar to Raider Nation, as another season of NFL football kicked off with lots of excitement, but quickly fizzled with a dismal performance by the Oakland Raiders. The end result was a 20-point drumming at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals, 33-13, who went into the Black Hole and dominated in every facet of the game.
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has left the opener against Cincinnati with an undisclosed injury.
Every NFL team should start the season this healthy: The San Francisco 49ers have one injury concern heading into the regular-season opener on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings at Levi's Stadium. Cornerback Tramaine Brock—nominally the team's No. 1 corner in what is an otherwise weak secondary—has a hamstring issue, and he is listed as questionable for the game. The Niners front seven will look very strange to fans of the team, in terms of personnel changes, so Brock's presence in the defensive backfield is a big one for San Francisco.
A total of 13 players comprise the Oakland Raiders and the Cincinnati Bengals' 2015 NFL Week 1 injury reports. Following Friday's practice, Jack Del Rio and Marvin Lewis revealed the extend of those injuries and the game statuses for Sunday's opener from the East Bay.

After almost-unmatched success during the first three years of former coach Jim Harbaugh's tenure in San Francisco, the 49ers crashed a bit last year, finishing 8-8. Now, with Harbaugh gone, the season ahead has many questions. The 49ers roster has lost much talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball, and there are questions about the future of the franchise as new coach Jim Tomsula faces a tough season ahead. Super Bowl 50 will be at Levi's Stadium, but San Francisco is a serious long shot to be playing in the game itself.
