Raiders Injuries: No Michael Mayer, but Raiders getting healthier
The Raiders go into this game getting a bit healthier, as both Kolton Miller and Josh Jacobs, who missed the Chargers game, are listed as questionable. The fact that they were not ruled out bodes well for the Raiders, and head coach Antonio Pierce spoke earlier this week that he expected them to go on Monday,.
For Kansas City, they are banged up at wide receiver, as Mecole Hardman and Kadarius Toney are ruled out. Also, Jerick McKinnon won't play, but they will have Isiah Pacheco back for this matchup, which would be huge for their offense. Offensive tackle Donovan Smith was also ruled out.
Raiders looking to stay alive in Week 16
Sitting at 6-8 going into this matchup, the Raiders will have to win out and get more help if they hope to stay alive in the AFC Playoff race. Las Vegas dominated the Chargers in all facets of the game their last time out, getting scores on offense and defense, while the special teams came up with a huge fumble recovery as well.
Despite the 63-point outburst, the Raiders are big underdogs in this matchup, as they have had little success against Kansas City in recent years. Patrick Mahomes will have his team ready to go despite all of the injuries, and in the end, the Chiefs may be too big a mountain to overcome, even with ten days rest between games.
