By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders hit the road to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, and here is the latest injury and weather report for the matchup.
In Week 3, the Las Vegas Raiders head to Music City to take on the Tennessee Titans in a crucial matchup between two AFC playoff contenders. Both these teams were expected to at least challenge for a Wild Card spot this season, but through two weeks, both are still looking for win No. 1.
Something has to got to give inside Nissan Stadium, and both teams go into this game missing some key pieces. Here we take a look at some of the injury news for this matchup and dive into what the weather should look like in Nashville in Week 3.

The Titans will be without two key pieces, one on each side of the ball in this matchup, as Taylor Lewan and Bud Dupree will not play. Lewan is the team’s starting left tackle, and is now out for the season, while Dupree is a premier edge rusher for the Titans, and a key to what they like to do on defense.
For the Silver and Black, Hunter Renfrow is out, and possibly Josh Jacobs too, so that is two players that are a big part of what they do on offense. Denzel Perryman and Tre’Von Moehrig are also banged up, and Perryman is out for his matchup.

According to weather.com, the afternoon in Nashville should be perfect for football, as there is only a 15 percent chance of rain, and it is supposed to be partly cloudy. That means, the weather will not be a factor in this one, and both teams should be able to try and execute their game plans without the worry of Mother Nature.
The winner of this game can get their season back on track, and for the Raiders, they desperately need to try and keep pace in the AFC West. They are the only team without a win in the division this season so far, something that has to change Sunday.
