Las Vegas Raiders get the most unfortunate news the day before they face the Pittsburgh Steelers

The Las Vegas Raiders have so much going against them in this game coming up against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

They are 2-3 and are looking to improve to 3-3 after a bad loss to the Denver Broncos, one that saw Gardner Minshew get benched with two costly turnovers. We know this team can win games against great teams because they did it against the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns.

But, the injuries they have had lately certainly have not helped. Their Friday injury report against the Steelers was bad. And now, it's only worse, as on Saturday we got some pretty bad news. Aidan O'Connell, set to make his first start this season, isn't going to like what he hears.

According to Las Vegas Review Journal's Vinny Bonsignore, the Raiders' best wide receiver, Jakobi Meyers, has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful. Usually, when you're doubtful, you don't play the next day.

That leaves guys like Tyreik McAllister, Tre Tucker, DJ Turner, and others as weapons for O'Connell to use. It's not going to be pretty, but the job has to be done regardless.
