The Las Vegas Raiders are already behind the eight-ball against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the game hasn't even kicked off yet.
It's looking like seven key players for the Raiders have the potential to miss the game on Saturday, but for now, only one, cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (knee), is ruled out. Ya-Sin has been dealing with a knee issue for the last three weeks.
Offensive lineman Alex Bars (knee), offensive lineman Jackson Barton (back), defensive tackle Andrew Billings (fibula), linebacker Darien Butler (quad), offensive lineman Dylan Parham (knee), and running back Zamir White (ankle) are all questionable for Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Steelers only have one player listed as out, and three questionable.
Rookie receiver George Pickens is out with an illness.
The Steelers' best receiver Diontae Johnson is questionable with a toe injury. Safety Terrell Edmunds is questionable with a hamstring injury, and linebacker Myles Jack is questionable with a groin.
The Steelers definitely have the advantage when it comes to health, and in my opinion, the Raiders have more injuries to more important players and more injuries in general.
If some of these guys are out for the Raiders, this will be a time when Las Vegas needs their young guys and depth pieces to step up the most.
