The Raiders have lost their long snapper for the final three quarters.

Andrew DePaola injured his knee in the first quarter and was in visible pain on the training table.

Oakland has ruled him out.

Backup interior offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and tight end Lee Smith took turns warming up for the job, and Lee got the first shot.

He long snapped on a 24-yard field goal attempt, which Mike Nugent made, giving Oakland a 10-7 lead.
