The 2-2 Las Vegas Raiders have a critical matchup on Sunday against the 2-2 Denver Broncos. The Raiders announced the status of several starters on Friday.
The Raiders were without a few key starters in their Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns. The Raiders found a way to defeat the Browns 20-16 without Davante Adams, Michael Mayer, and Maxx Crosby.
Davante Adams will miss Week 5
Adams has been the subject of numerous headlines this week as he seeks a trade from the Raiders. The All-Pro receiver is battling a hamstring injury that kept him out of practice this week. Per the injury report, Adams will not play against the Broncos.
Crosby missed Week 4 due to an ankle injury. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was limited on Friday. The Raiders marked him as questionable to play on Sunday. There is a good possibility the Raiders will have their best rusher, who already has three sacks this year, on the game-day roster to face rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
The Raiders ruled out seven players
The Raiders ruled out seven total players against the Broncos:
- OT Thayer Munford (knee/ankle)
- CB Decamerion Richardson (hamstring)
- TE Michael Mayer (hamstring)
- S Trey Taylor (knee)
- RB Zamir White (groin)
- LB Luke Masterson (knee)
Devine Deable, Kana’i Manga, Dylan Parham, and Tyreik McAllister are questionable to play.
