Las Vegas Raiders at Steelers 2022 Week 16: Injury and Weather Report
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16, and here is the current weather and injury report for the AFC matchup.
On Christmas Eve night, the Las Vegas Raiders will try to keep their playoff hopes alive, as they head to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in Week 16 action. It has been a roller coaster of a season for Las Vegas, as they should have at least nine wins right now if they could ever learn how to hold onto a big lead.
Pittsburgh and Las Vegas both go into this game with 6-8 records, and while they are still alive, both teams need a lot of help if they hope to punch their ticket to the postseason. Here, we look at the injury and weather report as we inch closer to game time.
Raiders at Steelers Injury Report
The Raiders secondary took a big hit this week, as they will be without starting cornerback Rock Ya-Sin for this matchup. That is the biggest injury for the Silver and Black, though they do have multiple players along the offensive line that are dealing with knee injuries.
For Pittsburgh, nobody has been ruled out, but they could be without two of their key players, as defensively, Terrell Edmunds and Myles Jack are questionable, and Diontae Johnson may not play for the offense.
Raiders at Steelers Weather Report
It is going to be a cold one tonight in Pittsburgh, as the Weather Channel currently has the game-time temperature at 12 degrees. However, the real feel is going to be below zero degrees, and it is only going to get colder as the game wears on.
This one has the potential to be a very low-scoring affair, especially if Derek Carr continues to struggle in cold weather. The winner is basically dead in terms of the playoffs, while the winner will see their slim playoff chances advance to Week 17.
