Raiders CB DJ Hayden will miss at least 1st 6 weeks of season after being placed on PUP list

Published February 05, 2015

Oakland Raiders cornerback DJ Hayden will miss at least the first six weeks of the season after being placed on the physically unable to perform list with a stress fracture in his right foot.

The move Tuesday is the latest setback to Hayden since being drafted 12th overall in 2013 with general manager Reggie McKenzie's first first-round pick in Oakland.

Hayden has struggled to get on the field because of a variety of ailments. He missed the entire offseason and part of training camp his rookie season recovering from abdominal surgery related to a surgery for a near-fatal heart injury in college.

He started two of the eight games he played last season before having season-ending sports hernia surgery. He has been sidelined by the foot since May.
