Raiders cornerback Chigozie Anusiem appeared to be seriously injured in the third quarter of Thursday night’s preseason game against the Texans.

Anusiem was on the punt team when he was dragged down from behind.

He had a vacuum splint on his leg and required a cart to get off the field. Anusiem wore a towel over his head as his teammates wished him well before he departed for the training room.

The Raiders quickly ruled him out.

He played 54 special teams snaps in three games last season for the Raiders.

The Raiders trail 20-3 midway through the third quarter.
