Steelers vs Raiders injury updates: Game status report for both teams
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders square off on Sunday and both teams will be doing it without several of their best players. Here is the game-status report for each of the teams.
Steelers
S Damontae Kazee (OUT)
EDGE Nick Herbig (OUT)
EDGE Alex Highsmith (OUT)
DE Demarvin Leal (OUT)
RB/WR Cordarrelle Patterson (OUT)
TE MyCole Pruitt (OUT)
RB Jaylen Warren (Questionable)
Raiders
WR Davante Adams (OUT)
TE Michael Mayer (OUT)
LB Tommy Eichenberg (Questionable)
WR Jakobi Meyers (Questionable)
OT Tab Munford (Questionable)
G Jackson Powers-Johnson (Questionable)
RB Zamir White (Questionable)
S Trey Taylor (Questionable)
With Highsmith, Herbig and Leal out, the Steelers are terribly thin at edge rusher. Based on the depth chart, it will be second-year player Jeremiah Moon getting the start opposite T.J. Watt.
For the offense, a return of running back Jaylen Warren would be huge. With Cordarrelle Patterson out, Najee Harris can't really be the guy to carry the rushing attack. If Warren on a snap count is better than Just Harris and the occasional Justin Fields run.
