The veteran corner has been dealing with this shin injury for over a month, as he was carted off the field during training camp Aug. 1. Facyson agreed to terms with Las Vegas this offseason after spending 2022 with Indianapolis. The 29-year-old will now be forced to miss at least the first four games of the coming season.

Raiders' Brandon Facyson: Will sit out at Denver
Facyson (shin) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
After missing practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Facyson being ruled out for Week 1 doesn't come as much of a surprise. Until he's ready to play again, fourth-round rookie Jakorian Bennett could be in line for more snaps than he would have been otherwise.

Raiders' Brandon Facyson: Injury likely not serious
Facyson (leg) did not practice Wednesday, Mark Anderson of Yahoo.com reports.
Facyson had to be carted off the field Tuesday, and although he was unable to return for practice Wednesday, the injury is not believed to be serious. Head coach Josh McDaniels added, "I don't think it's going to be too long-term." Facyson spent last season with the Colts after suiting up for the Raiders during the 2021 campaign, compiling 28 tackles and six passes defended. He'll return to trying to earn a depth role in the Las Vegas secondary once he's fully recovered.

Raiders' Brandon Facyson: Carted off during camp
Facyson was carted off during Raiders practice Tuesday after suffering an apparent leg injury, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Facyson was standing out at camp before suffering this leg injury, but head coach Josh McDaniels doesn't believe he'll be out for a long period of time. McDaniels told reporters Wednesday that there's no update on the veteran cornerback's injury but suggested "it won't be too long term." Once he returns to full health, expect the 28-year-old Facyson to serve as a rotational corner for the Raiders ahead of the coming season.

Facyson played in a rotational role at cornerback for the Colts last season, recording 28 tackles (26 solo) over the course of 16 games. Coming to Las Vegas, its likely the 28-year-old will continue to serve as a depth option as a member of the Raiders' defensive backfield.

Colts' Brandon Facyson: Officially active for Week 18
Facyson (concussion) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.
Facyson left Week 17 with a concussion, but after not practicing Wednesday, he logged a limited session Thursday and was full go Friday. He was still listed as questionable for Week 18, but he's since cleared concussion protocol and will be available for the Colts' season finale. Facyson could see an expanded role with Stephon Gilmore (wrist) inactive and Kenny Moore (ankle) on injured reserve.

Colts' Brandon Facyson: Unavailable for Week 18
Facyson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Texans.
Facyson exited last Sunday's loss to the Giants with a concussion, leaving him sidelined during the Colts' practice Wednesday. The 28-year-old was able to increase his practice activity on back-to-back days en route to a full session Friday, though he'll still sit out the team's inconsequential regular-season finale. Facyson has played a rotational role on defense across 15 games this season, so his absence should leave Tony Brown and Darrell Baker to step up into bigger roles behind Dallis Flowers and Stephon Gilmore (wrist), the latter of whom is still questionable to play Week 18.
