The Las Vegas Raiders have placed linebacker Divine Deablo on the injured reserve list.
Diablo injured his arm on the second defensive snap of the game Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He will miss at least four games before being eligible to return.
The linebacker has started all eight games for the Raiders, leading the team with 74 combined tackles. Safety Johnathan Abram is second on that list at 48.

The Raiders filled Diablo’s roster spot by signing cornerback Sidney Jones IV. The former Seattle Seahawk has bounced around the league after being drafted in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Jones has also played for Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars.
In his six-year career, Jones has 147 combined tackles, four interceptions and one forced fumble.
“In 2021, Jones IV played in 16 games with 11 starts for the Seahawks and recorded career highs in tackles (66) and passes defensed (10),” the Raiders said in a press release.
