Los Angeles Chargers at Oakland Raiders: 3 things to keep an eye on
By Brad Weiss
Who is healthy?
The Oakland Raiders were without Rodney Hudson in Week 9, as he suffered an ankle injury against the Houston Texans the week before. In addition, they lost starting right tackle Trent Brown during their second series of the game, once again leaving the team short-handed along the offensive line.
In addition, edge rusher Arden Key broke his foot in the game, and starting cornerback Daryl Worley had to have an MRI. All in all, the Raiders have been dealing with at least some kind of injury all season long to key players, and on a short week, it will be crucial for the team to have as many healthy bodies as possible.
Tuesday was essentially a walkthrough, but there were some big-name Raiders participating, including Brown, Hudson, and Worley. In brighter new, rookie cornerback Isaiah Johnson is finally healthy enough to play, and he will be active in Week 10, which is exciting for a defensive backfield that needs help.
