The Las Vegas Raiders are almost set to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in just a few hours. The Raiders' season is pretty much over, as they are 2-6 and have no real way of making the playoffs. A loss on Sunday would only help the Raiders' draft position in the 2025 NFL Draft.

But, regardless, they will try to win every game, because that's what competitors do.

Against the Bengals, the Raiders will be without five players: one starter and two rookies whom the Raiders just selected in this last draft.

The Raiders inactives are as follows:

RB Dyland Laube

S Trey Taylor

C Andre James

DE Janarius Robinson

CB Sam Webb

Should they lose this game, the Raiders also have a difficult schedule coming up after this game. First, they will have a bye week and then will face the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what's a tough schedule the rest of the way.
