Report: Raiders RB Crowell tears Achilles, out for 2019

Oakland Raiders running back Isaiah Crowell suffered a torn Achilles tendon on Tuesday and is out for the season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Crowell, who signed a one-year contract valued up to $2.5 million in late March, will have surgery next week, Schefter said. He became available when the New York Jets released him after signing free agent running back Le'Veon Bell to a four-year contract.

The 26-year-old spent his first four seasons with Cleveland before signing with the Jets before the 2018 season. Last year, he gained 837 total yards and scored six touchdowns in 13 games (six starts). The Raiders were counting on Crowell to provide depth after Marshawn Lynch retired and Doug Martin left as a free agent. Their depth chart now includes rookie Josh Jacobs -- the No. 24 pick in the draft from Alabama - along with Jalen Richard, James Butler, DeAndre Washington and Chris Warren.
