Week 15: Las Vegas Raiders First Injury Report
The Las Vegas Raiders (5-8) started their preparation for their Week 15 game against the New England Patriots (7-6) this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
Following yet another self-destructing second half, which resulted in a loss, the Raiders also lost a few key players to injuries.
The Silver and Black had a few extra days of rest following the Thursday night game, but if players don’t return on time, Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels feels he has plenty of guys ready to step in if their name is called.
"Obviously, every coach would love to have every guy healthy. It's just not the nature of this game," McDaniels said before Wednesday’s practice. "And I think we've had a lot of guys step in and play very well when they've had their opportunities, and that'll continue to happen."
Guard Alex Bars and cornerback Rock Ya-Sin were non-participants on Wednesday's practice session as they are both dealing with knee injuries.
Running back Josh Jacobs started the week as a limited participant as he deals with quad and hand injuries, the latter which he suffered last week.
Also limited were guard/tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (oblique/wrist), guard Dylan Parham (knee), linebacker Denzel Perryman (hip), cornerback Sam Webb (illness) and defensive tackle Andrew Billings, who missed Thursday's game because of a fibula injury.
As for the Patriots, they had their fair share of injuries during last week’s game, as they also saw some key players go down with injuries.
Cornerback Jack Jones (knee), wide receiver DeVante Parker (concussion) and running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) all went down during Monday night’s game, and were listed as non-participants on Wednesday’s practice.
Offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn (foot) also was a non-participant on Wednesday’s practice after missing last week’s game.
Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) returned to the team as a limited participant.
Defensive lineman Christian Barmore (knee), tackle Yodny Cajuste(calf/back), long snapper Joe Cardona (ankle), running back Damien Harris (thigh), and cornerback Jalen Mills (groin) were all limited in practice.
The Raiders will host the Patriots at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022. That game will kick off at 4:05 p.m. EST/1:05 p.m. PST and can be seen on FOX.
