Long snappers are usually only appreciated when they’re gone, and that was the case with Raiders long snapper Jon Condo on Sunday.

Condo injured his shoulder while recovering a muffed punt in Sunday’s win over the Broncos and went to the locker room for treatment, and so when the Raiders scored a touchdown on the subsequent possession, they tried and failed a two-point conversion because they didn’t feel confident they could execute an extra point snap properly.

Condo later returned to the game, but he acknowledged that his injured shoulder led to a bad snap on Sebastian Janikowski’s missed field goal. That missed field goal and failed extra point could have been costly to the Raiders, but they managed to hang on and win, 15-12.

After the game, Condo was feeling good and celebrating the recovery of the muffed punt, although he said his teammates’ celebrations may have made his shoulder injury worse.

“Right as I jumped on the ball, my arm was out and someone jumped right on top of me,” he said. “As I was running off the field, my arm was stuck out and no one knew it, everyone is high-fiving me and I’m like, ‘No, I need a trainer.'”

Fortunately for the Raiders, Condo’s injury does not appear to be serious. As they found out on Sunday, they miss him when he’s gone.
