Alec Ingold had a bad injury on special teams that had him carted off the field. Now, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network is reporting that it could be a torn ACL for the fullback.

This could be a massive blow to the offense to lose their fullback for the season. Ingold helps in the passing game and run blocking. He will be hard to replace when it comes to his presence.
Raiders have been using Foster Moreau so far at running back to suffice. He has lined up in the backfield in recent weeks, and I expect that to continue in the future. The Raiders will probably find any free agent or practice squad players to help out in the upcoming weeks.
