Tyrell Williams (Out)
The Raiders missed their number one wide receiver in week 5 against the Chicago Bears when Tyrell Williams was a late scratch. Given the team would have their bye week following the trip to London, Jon Gruden emphasized after the Bears win about the importance of getting healthier during the week off. Williams is battling plantar fasciitis and according to Gruden it doesn’t appear to be getting any better.
Once again the Raiders pass catching group for Sunday will consume off a multitude of inexperienced pass catchers and rookies. In Gruden’s London game, he only activated three wide receivers — Hunter Renfrow, Trevor Davis and Keelan Doss. Since then, the Raiders traded for former second-round pick Zay Jones as this weekend looks to be his first game in the silver and black. Although, more than likely the game plan will remain the same in Green Bay as it was in London — run the ball and get the tight ends involved within the passing game.
Arden Key (Out)
Arden Key suffered a knee injury in the Bears game, and will be held out this Sunday. Key still hasn’t found a way to get going off the edge after a successful offseason of bulking up and gaining weight, but the coaching staff still remain optimistic on his future.
Maxx Crosby and Benson Mayowa got the bulk of reps at defensive end in the last contest, so look for those two to be featured once again as they’ve both played quite well. Clelin Ferrell looks to have shaken the concussion as he’s been a full participant at practice and could be active for Sunday’s game.
