The Las Vegas Raiders are facing a significant setback just before their key game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Veteran offensive lineman Dylan Parham was injured during practice, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming matchup. This injury couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Raiders, as they gear up to face one of their fiercest AFC West rivals. Parham, known for his experience and vital presence on the offensive line, plays a crucial role in the team’s strategy. His absence could impact the team’s performance, leaving them to re-evaluate their game plan ahead of this pivotal contest.
Raiders’ standout edge rusher Maxx Crosby returned to practice on Friday, participating on a limited basis after rehabbing an ankle injury earlier in the week. Encouragingly, Crosby carries no injury designation for Sunday’s game, signaling he is likely ready to play.
However, the Raiders will be without starting right guard Dylan Parham, who is sidelined with a foot injury. Parham, who missed the Steelers game in Week 6, will be replaced by Jordan Meredith, who is expected to start against the Rams.
Additionally, linebackers Tommy Eichenberg (quad) and Kana’i Mauga (knee) are ruled out for Sunday’s matchup. The Raiders’ injury list continues with wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who is listed as doubtful due to an ankle injury.
Running back Zamir White, having missed the last two games due to a groin injury, is listed as questionable. White was a full participant in Friday’s practice, increasing his chances of playing this week. Meanwhile, defensive tackles John Jenkins (illness) and Adam Butler (knee/illness) are also questionable for Sunday’s game.
