First-year Las Vegas Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr., was carted off the field during Saturday’s practice at Allegiant Stadium with a broken fibula in his right leg, according to multiple reports on Sunday.

Johnson, 29, will reportedly undergo an MRI exam to determine if there is any additional damage. Depending on the severity of the injury, including if surgery is required, recovery could range anywhere from 10 weeks to six months.

The six-year pro collided with defensive end Maxx Crosby while attempting to tackle running back Raheem Mostert.

A projected backup this season, Johnson was receiving first-team reps when the defense featured three safeties.

Johnson agreed to a one-year deal with the Raiders during the offseason after spending three years with the Houston Texans (2019-21) and one each with the Tennessee Titans (2022), New Orleans Saints (2023) and Carolina Panthers (2024).

A second-round pick by Houston in 2019, Johnson has accumulated 199 tackles, 15 passes defended and four interceptions across 83 games (20 starts).
