With Latavius Murray out with a sore toe, the Raiders may have to rely on two rookie running backs to carry the load against the Chargers. Fortunately, they have been up to the task this season. DeAndre Washington has rushed for 147 yards (6.4 average), while undrafted Jalen Richard has run for 144 yards (8.5 average).
Chargers rookie defensive end Joey Bosa is expected to make his NFL debut this week. The No. 3 pick overall in the draft missed training camp during a nasty holdout and then hurt a hamstring. “I haven’t taken one snap in the NFL, so I’m just looking to get one and then keep going with that,” he said.
