Oakland Raiders left guard Robert Gallery needs back surgery and will miss the rest of the season.
Raiders coach Tom Cable announced after today's practice that Gallery is done for the year.
Originally acquired as the second overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft, Gallery was expected to be the Raiders' starting left tackle for years to come, but he struggled against speedy NFL pass rushers. At guard, however, Gallery blossomed into the Raiders' best offensive lineman, starting all 32 games in 2007 and 2008.
This year he has played just six games, and injuries have limited his effectiveness even when he could play. He missed part of training camp because of an appendectomy and then broke his leg in Week Two, and now the back injury has given his season a painful ending.
Chris Morris is slated to replace Gallery at left guard, although the Raiders may need to do some juggling on their offensive line because starting center Samson Satele is questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins, and Morris is Satele's backup, too.
