Broncos outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware was carted to the locker room during the second quarter of Sunday’s Broncos-Raiders game.

An initial pressbox announcement said Ware had a back injury and was questionable to return. He was later announced as out for the game.

Ware came into the game with 4.5 sacks for the league’s No. 1 defense. No additional information has been provided on his injury or status.
