Final Injury Report Released for Raiders, Colts
Gameday is almost here for the Las Vegas Raiders and the Indianapolis Colts, and with that, the final injury reports for both teams have been released.
For the Raiders, they’re going to be without key players in their secondary, as cornerback Damon Arnette and safety Jeff Heath are both out.
Arnette and Heath didn’t practice all week while recovering from concussions they sustained in the previous game against the New York Jets.
The only other Raiders listed are safety Johnathan Abram, running back Josh Jacobs and corner Isaiah Johnson.
Abram and Jacobs didn’t play last week dealing with knee and ankle injuries respectively. They were both limited for the most part this week and are both questionable.
Johnson was limited all week because of a groin injury and is questionable as well.
Looking at the Colts, the big focus is on their starting left tackle Anthony Castonzo, who is questionable due to a knee injury.
Castonzo didn’t practice on Wednesday and was limited for the rest of the week. As the Colts elder statesman on their offensive line, his status will be a big watching point on Sunday.
The one player for the Colts who is out is punter Rigoberto Sanchez. It is not very common to find the punter on the injury report, but the Colts will be without theirs due to illness.
The remaining Colts listed are defensive end Tyquan Lewis and linebacker Bobby Okereke, questionable with hip and ankle injuries.
Arnette and Heath being out is a significant development considering the varied weapons that quarterback Philip Rivers has at his disposal.
Johnson’s status then becomes that much more important as the Raiders' depth at corner could be very thin.
