The Oakland Raiders' secondary is beat up right now, though you would never know it based on their fourth-ranked pass defense. Coach Dennis Allen's latest test will be to find a replacement for starting strong safety Tyvon Branch.ย 

The Raiders announced Branch's season is over after placing him on injured reserve:

ESPN's Adam Caplan indicates the foot injury will require surgery:

Branch left Sunday's 16-9 loss against New England in the third quarter with a broken foot, according to Vic Tafur of The San Francisco Chronicle. It's the second consecutive year he will miss most of the season with a leg injury, as he sat out 14 games last year with a fractured ankle.ย
