The Las Vegas Raiders have started off the year with a few injuries here and there. Of course, they started the season without defensive end Malcolm Koonce, and then Tyree Wilson was injured early in the first game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Kolton Miller has been dealing with injuries, as has Thayer Munford and others, but has decided to play through them.
Entering this week, there were some questions about who would or would not play, as several players started to show up on the Wednesday injury report for the Raiders' game against the Carolina Panthers, after a huge win over the Baltimore Ravens.
When the initial injury report came out, the Raiders listed stars like Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins as limited participants in practice. But, we knew, because of his past like last season and years prior with the Raiders, that Crosby would play no matter what, and Pierce confirmed that. But, what we didn't know is if Wilkins was the same way because he is a new player on the Raiders.
There were also questions needing to be answered about Decamerion Richardson, Tommy Eichenberg, and Jackson Powers-Johnson, all rookies who had still not yet made their debuts in the NFL. Well, we had questions answered, even before practice started on Friday. Pierce mentioned that Crosby would play, Divine Diablo would not, JPJ would, and Eichenberg could see special teams snaps if ready to go.
With the injury report out, we see what he didn't mention.
Richardson is doubtful, Tyree Wilson is questionable along with Wilkins. As for everyone else, barring anything crazy, they should all be available to play.
The Raiders could be going into a game that could see them improve to 2-1, healthy for the most part.
Las Vegas Raiders get a mixed bag of news on their initial injury report for Week 3 vs. the Panthers
Not too much to worry about.
