Report: Raiders' Tyvon Branch suffered fractured foot in Sunday's game vs. Patriots

The injury that forced Oakland Raiders safety Tyvon Branch to leave Sunday's game against the New England Patriots has been diagnosed as a fractured foot, head coach Dennis Allen announced.

After missing the majority of 2013, Branch's return to the field this season was a key addition for the Raiders' defense.

While it has yet to be announced how long Branch is expected to be out this time around, the injury certainly makes for a significant loss moving forward.
