Las Vegas Raiders need to get healthy with undefeated Bills on the horizon

Las Vegas Raiders will need to get healthy in a hurry this week, as the undefeated Buffalo Bills head to Allegiant Stadium.

Riding high after a shocking victory against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football in Week 2, the Las Vegas Raiders has a short week to prepare to go across the country and take on the New England Patriots. The short week, injuries, and trip played to a big disadvantage for the Silver and Black, who were beaten in convincing fashion by the Patriots.

Sitting at 2-1, they head home to take on the Buffalo Bills, who have moved out to a 3-0 record to start the 2020 campaign. For the Raiders, getting healthy will be crucial if they want to move to 2-0 in their brand new stadium.

Jacobs and Waller nicked up in Week 3

A lot of the talk leading into the Raiders game against the Patriots was about the health of their two elite offensive players, Josh Jacobs and Darren Waller. Both have had terrific starts to the 2020 campaign, but neither one practiced much during the week, and there were major questions as to whether they would be able to go.

Both players did play, but Waller had only two catches, and Jacobs appeared banged up from time to time during the game. In order for the Raiders to beat the Bills next Sunday, they will need both players to be rested and healthy, and luckily, the Silver and Black will have a full week this time for them to get back to 100 percent.
