Seven Raiders Including Davante Adams Out for Broncos Clash, Crosby’s Status in Doubt
Raiders’ Game Updates: Injuries and Absences
Injury Report and Key Absences
Seven players from the Las Vegas Raiders have been ruled out for Sunday’s match against the Denver Broncos. This includes receiver Davante Adams and running back Zamir White. However, three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby’s presence remains uncertain.
Individual Player Updates
Adams, a six-time Pro Bowler, is currently nursing a hamstring injury and is temporarily away from the team due to trade discussions. White sustained a groin injury during Wednesday’s practice and hasn’t returned since. Crosby, who was limited in practice due to a left high ankle sprain, is also questionable for the upcoming game.
Comments from Raiders’ Coach
“With the injuries, it’s Week 5 in the National Football League,” commented Raiders coach Antonio Pierce. “Just like everybody else, we’re battling, and we’ll see come Sunday who’s ready to go.”
Additional Injuries and Absences
In addition to Adams and White, the Raiders are also missing starting right tackle Thayer Munford Jr. (ankle/knee), linebacker Luke Masterson (knee), and tight end Michael Mayer for the upcoming game. Mayer is missing his second consecutive game due to personal reasons, while Safety Trey Taylor and cornerback Decamerion Richardson are also ruled out for Sunday’s match.
Dylan Parham Uncertain for Next Game, Maxx Crosby and Alexander Mattison Step Up
Parham’s Achilles Injury
The status of starting right guard Dylan Parham remains dubious due to an Achilles issue. Despite his limited participation in Friday’s practice, it is still uncertain whether he will be fit to play in the next game.
Maxx Crosby’s Performance
Maxx Crosby, who was noticeably absent from the Raiders’ locker room this week, is currently leading the Las Vegas team with an impressive 3.0 sacks.
White’s Rushing Yards Lead
Despite leading the Raiders with a total of 152 rushing yards, White’s average falls at a slight 3.1 yards per carry.
Alexander Mattison Filling In
As the team prepares for their next game, Alexander Mattison is set to start at the crucial position of running back. Mattison has already made a mark with his performance, boasting 87 yards and two touchdowns, with an impressive average of 5.1 yards per carry.
