The Las Vegas Raiders could get extremely lucky before their Saturday Christmas Eve matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Week 16 isn't looking great for the Steelers in terms of the injury report. As it currently stands, on Tuesday they have three starters on the injury report that isn't rest or full participants.
All three of those guys are very key pieces to the Steelers, too.
Starting linebacker Myles Jack (Groin), starting receiver Diontae Johnson (toe) and starting running back Najee Harris (hip) were all limited participants on Tuesday.
The Raiders haven't been the most healthy group this season, but they are just now getting some very important guys back.
Harris isn't quite having the season everyone expected out of him, as he was amazing in his rookie season. However, he is still a very good running back. He can catch it out of the backfield, and he is very good inside and outside the tackles.
Johnson is a guy who was projected to have another 1,000-yard receiving season by a lot of media, after being selected to the Pro Bowl last season. However, he could fall short of that as he sits at 745 yards with three games left.
If those guys are out for Pittsburgh, it could get ugly for them.
