The Las Vegas Raiders are going through it on the injury front. They went through it last week, having nine players on the injury report, and beat the Cleveland Browns without five starters, two of them being their two best players Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams.
We have already gotten word that Adams will not play on Sunday against the Denver Broncos, as he is dealing with a legitimate hamstring injury. As for Crosby, he’s battling, as Antonio Pierce said on Wednesday.
This week, there were 11 players alone who did not participate. There are 15 total players on the injury report, as opposed to the Broncos having just three. But, both sides do have significant injuries in terms of players who are on IR.

Here is what the injury report looks like on both sides this week:
The Raiders will be behind this week. But, it worked out for them last week. They need a big-time win here, similar to the one they got against the Baltimore Ravens, where they will be at a disadvantage on the road. This AFC West rivalry match in Denver could be a good one.
