The good news for the Raiders is that it’s an injury that doesn’t require surgery and will most likely not require the cornerback to head to injured reserve. Per Williamson, his recovery time could be fewer than six weeks and there is optimism within the Raiders organization that Bartell will be back in four.
Bartell is in his first season with the Raiders after signing a one-year deal with the team in March. Prior to joining the Raiders, Bartell had spent his entire career with the Rams after being drafted by the team in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
