This injury will bring an end to the star fullback\u2019s 2021 NFL season.

He is also one of seven team captains for Las Vegas this season. His versatility and leadership have been a crucial cog in the offensive machine for the Raiders. His loss could not come at a worse time for a team dealing with more in-season adversity than any in league history.<\/p>\n<p>On the season, Ingold has recorded 10 receptions for 85 yards and one touchdown. He has also rushed for one touchdown on two carries. Do not let the minuscule numbers fool you. Ingold\u2019s impact on the field comes from his versatility and elite run-blocking skills. He is a first-down machine, and his sure-handedness is beyond reproach for the position sporting a catch rating of 83%.<\/p>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;15416&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>This is truly a situation where the poor have become poorer. Las Vegas is trending downwards, and this injury will only exacerbate the situation. The Raiders are desperately lacking playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. What was once considered a strength to start the season has now become the team\u2019s biggest weakness. Opposing defenses are rolling coverage towards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WallDa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Darren Waller<\/a> and daring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CarrDe02.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Derek Carr<\/a> to beat them elsewhere. Ingold was a security blanket out of the backfield when the wide receivers would struggle to create separation. There is no one else on the roster that can fill the void Ingold has left behind.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"MIwAiW9iSJ9fyoIZ09HwOA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1353346182\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'MIwAiW9iSJ9fyoIZ09HwOA',sig:'ryOA6iPkf4y-nMAiGWu_fmt0QQxp2z6BXpUVQzkomzU=',w:'594px',h:'427px',items:'1353346182',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After being carted out of last night&#8217;s game, it has been confirmed that Alec Ingold has suffered a partial ACL tear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3003,"featured_media":124834,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[54,17],"tags":[5878,5653,231,246,7747],"class_list":["post-124831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editorials","category-raiders","tag-alec-ingold","tag-darren-waller","tag-derek-carr","tag-nfl-news","tag-raiders-featured"],"modified_by":"Will Koshover, Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3003"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124831"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124831\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
