By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders will battle it out against Kansas City in Week 5, and here is the final injury report and current weather situation.
On Monday night, the Las Vegas Raiders will look to shock the NFL landscape in primetime, as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs inside Arrowhead Stadium. The Silver and Black have gotten out to a tough start to the 2022 campaign, going 1-3 through their first four games, and will try and make it two in a row against the Chiefs in Week 5.
Kansas City, on the other hand, is once again rolling this season, and is one of the best teams in the NFL. They are fresh off a victory against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers their last time out, and being home, are big favorites to beat the Silver and Black on Monday night.
Here, we look at what the injury situation looks like for both teams, and if the weather will be a factor in this one.
Raiders at Chiefs 2022 Week 5: Weather Report
The weather certainly will not be an issue tonight between the Raiders and Chiefs, at it will be in the mid-70s by the start of the game. That is unusually warm weather for Kansas City this time a year, and that will benefit the Raiders in a big way.
When the Silver and Black have to go to Arrowhead late in the season, the cold weather has a negative effect, especially on quarterback Derek Carr. The temps will be above 65 degrees throughout this matchup, with no rain in sight.

The final injury report is out for the Raiders and Chiefs, and one big name for Kansas City is kicker Harrison Butker. One of the best in the game, Butker is dealing with an ankle injury, and has been ruled out, while JuJu Smith-Schuster is questionable with a hamstring.
For the Silver and Black, Justin Herron was put on IR this week, and linebacker Jayon Brown has been ruled out for this contest. One name to keep an eye on is Foster Moreau, as he is dealing with a knee injury.
Overall, the weather is going to be perfect, the teams are pretty healthy, and it is time to get to work. Las Vegas can shock a lot of people with a win against Kansas City on Monday night, but if history is any indicator, they could be in for a rough one on the road before the bye week.
