Las Vegas Raiders 2020 Week 10 review: Studs and Duds

The Duds Part 2

The injury bug striking again

The Raiders, in particular their offensive line, have caught the injury bug big time this season and it seems to be particularly focused on RT Sam Young. The veteran swing tackle has been in and out of the lineup this season with multiple injuries and he was hurt yet again, and practice squad player Patrick Omameh had to step in for the first time.

So if youre keeping track, the Raiders ended Sunday’s game with a third stringer at LT, a backup at LG, and a fourth stringer at RT. Luckily, the Young injury didn’t happen until the game was out of reach for Denver, but rolling out the five that finished the game against Kansas City is a recipe for disaster.

Here’s hoping that Kolton Miller and Richie Incognito return so Denzelle Good can play RT and get the Raiders offensive line back to at least close to the level that they started the season with.

Drew Lock

Obviously, Drew Lock isn’t a Raiders player, and it could be argued that he was a stud for the Silver and Black because he kept turning the ball over but this was quite a performance for the young QB. Lock was almost the sole reason that Denver was blown out as he threw the ball to the other team four times and repeatedly missed open receivers.

The Denver defense did their best to keep the game close despite Lock’s mistakes but they could only hold out for so long before the dam broke.
