The Oakland Raiders will be without Jacoby Ford for the foreseeable future, as the wide receiver will undergo surgery on his injured left foot.

"Basically, it's the same injury he had last year. He re-injured it this season ... After visiting with the foot specialist in Carolina, everybody thought that given a little bit of time that he could come back from it," Bruce Allen said.

Ford sprained his foot in the Raiders' second preseason game.

Ford missed eight games last season with a similar injury.
