With gameday on Sunday, the Raiders released their final injury report for Week 1. For the Raiders, it was mostly good news, with only two players coming out on the injury report. Health is going to be a huge factor for this team each week. The Raiders cannot afford to lose players during the season.

"Well, it's not much different the way Pete [Carroll] runs this. So, every day we have a situation, whether it be red zone, coming out, third down, something that's central to the theme of that day in training. So, we've been game planning,” Kelly said.

“Obviously, we've been going against our defense in those situations, and now it's an opportunity to go against Vrabes [Mike Vrabel] and what he's going to do."
