The Raiders will be without center Rodney Hudson on Sunday, as expected, as he sits out with his right ankle injury he tweaked last week. Tony Bergstrom will start in his place.
The surprise comes in fellow offensive linemen Khalif Barnes also being inactive. He didn’t show up on the injury report at all this week, so unless something happened over the past two days, it seems he’s simply being held out of the game. And since he’s out on the field running as I type, it doesn’t appear to be injury-related.
Running back Taiwan Jones is also out this game with his knee injury suffered last week.
