As the Raiders head to Green Bay after having their week six bye, they still find themselves experiencing some crucial injuries towards key components of the roster.

The Oakland Raiders have another tough task ahead of them on Sunday, as they will take on the Green Bay Packers on the road. The Packers are one of the better teams in the NFC, getting out to a 5-1 record through the first six weeks of the season thanks to strong play from their defense, as well as quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

While Rodgers has long been one of the best in the game, the improvements on defense have been the biggest surprise with this team this season. On the other hand, the Raiders have been surprising on both sides of the ball, as they are suddenly contenders in a wide open AFC playoff race.

On Sunday, these two teams will battle it out inside Lambeau Field, as the Packers look to stay in first place in the NFC North, and the Raiders look to keep pace with  the first place Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. In order for the Raiders to win, it will have to be all hands on deck,  but they could be without some key pieces on Sunday.

Here is a look at the walking wounded for the Raiders in Week 7.
