Sean Smith left Sunday’s game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers early in the first quarter with a shoulder injury, and did not return to the game.

In a press conference today, Jack Del Rio did not provide an update on Sean Smith. But luckily for us, Ian Rapoport has the scoop.

Per Rapoport,

Some good news on #Raiders CB Sean Smith: The shoulder injury he suffered on Sunday could keep him out just a week. Seemed a lot worse.

Adam Caplan also reported similar news.

On #Raiders CB Sean Smith (left shoulder): source called him very questionable to play Sunday night vs. #Broncos. Not a long-term injury.

It would be rough if Smith misses the Denver game as Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders will be in town, which would leave either D.J. Hayden or T.J. Carrie to cover Sanders.
