Miami Dolphins at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 things to watch in Week 16
By Brad Weiss
Can a healthier Raiders secondary stop Tua?
The Las Vegas Raiders are finally getting healthier in the secondary, and will likely return both Damon Arnette and Johnathan Abram to the starting lineup on Saturday. These are two young defensive players who will be key for this franchise moving forward, and they need all the experience they can get heading into next season.
Abram missed nearly all of his rookie season due to injury, and Arnette has missed a ton of time as a rookie this year, so they are behind the eight ball a bit entering this game. Both have the overall skill to be standout players at the NFL level, but they also have struggled mightily when they have been healthy enough to go.

Secondary issues have plagued the Raiders all season long, and this is probably as healthy as they are going to get this late in the season. Abram needs to minimize the big mistakes, and if the Raiders can avoid the big penalties, something they were not able to do last week, they should be able to at least force the rookie into a mistake or two.
