The Las Vegas Raiders have had a rough couple of weeks, all things considered. They now own a 2-4 record, and will have to claw their way to a victory against the 1-4 Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon.
Despite their poor record, the Rams have lost some close games, and have dealt with a ton of injuries. They'll be getting some players back on Sunday, including star receiver Cooper Kupp.
As for the Raiders, their injuries are still hobbling the roster. On Friday, Las Vegas got some bad news involving two of the more important players on their offense, courtesy of The Las Vegas Review Journal's Vincent Bonsignore.
Both of these players found themselves on the injury report this week, with each of them missing practice. Each of them play major roles on the offense at this point, so Las Vegas will have a much tougher time this week.
After Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets earlier this week, Jakobi Meyers immediately became the team's new WR1. With him out this week, the Raiders will now have Tre Tucker and D.J. Turner as their first two options at the position for the second straight week.
On the offensive line, Dylan Parham represents another aspect of the unit which has been banged up throughout the year. Las Vegas hasn't been able to get much consistency out of the O-line due to the number of injuries this year, and their depth will once again be tested.
Las Vegas travels to SoFi stadium for the second time this year as they hope to get their third win of the season against the Rams.
