Las Vegas Raiders rookie could finally make his debut on Sunday vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers

The Las Vegas Raiders' biggest issue this year outside of the quarterback position and the offense being bad as a whole, is undoubtedly the injury issues they have had. This week saw 16 players on the injury report, and last week against the Denver Broncos was no better.

Now, they are tasked with beating the Pittsburgh Steelers with a ton of players being banged up or even out. They were without five starters last week, and seven key players total. This week, two are set to be out, but six are questionable.

And, they all play huge roles.

Jakobi Meyers, the best wide receiver on the team, is questionable, along with starting right tackle Thayer Munford, rookie linebacker Tommy Eichenberg who started last week, starting rookie guard Jackson Powers-Johnson, running back Zamir White, rookie safety Trey Taylor.

Michael Mayer and Davante Adams are out.

But, rookie cornerback Decamerion Richardson, who was taken in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is healthy enough to go on Sunday. Now, it's just about whether he is active or not. He has not played yet this season due to injuries.

The Steelers have quite the injury report as well, with 15 total players listed. They will have six players out.

Now, we wait to see how this team responds to adversity. They need to bounce back to improve to 3-3 on the year after losses to the Panthers, Broncos, and Los Angeles Chargers and wins over the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.
