The Las Vegas Raiders face defensive depth concerns ahead of their Sunday matchup against the Carolina Panthers, with key players like Divine Deablo and Maxx Crosby listed on the injury report.
BollywoodFever: The Las Vegas Raiders are gearing up for their third game of the season against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, hoping to improve to a 2-1 record.
However, injuries may play a significant role in the outcome, particularly for the Raiders’ defense.
According to Friday’s injury report, the Raiders’ defense will be tested as linebacker Divine Deablo has been ruled out for the week.
Additionally, cornerback Decamerion Richardson remains doubtful with a lingering hamstring injury, further thinning Las Vegas’ depth.
There are also concerns around star edge rusher Maxx Crosby, who was limited in practice on Friday and remains questionable for the game.
Las Vegas is hopeful that Crosby will suit up, but with other key defenders like Christian Wilkins and Tyree Wilson also listed as questionable, the defensive line could be significantly weakened.
For the Carolina Panthers, defensive tackle Shy Tuttle was the only player who did not participate in practice on Friday, and he is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game.
Several other key players, including defensive end A’Shawn Robinson and safeties Lonnie Johnson Jr. and Nick Scott, are questionable, potentially impacting Carolina’s defensive strategy.
As the Raiders look to secure their second consecutive win, the main concern for the team will be managing their thin defensive line against a Panthers offense looking for its first win.
Fans will be keeping a close eye on game-day injury updates, particularly regarding Crosby’s availability, which could make or break the Raiders’ defensive effort.
