The Las Vegas Raiders are about to play one of their most important games in recent history on Sunday. Sitting in a four-way tie for the AFC’s third and final Wild Card spot, the Raiders are essentially in a “must-win” situation against the Indianapolis Colts. Unfortunately for Las Vegas, COVID-19 has hit them hard right before this pivotal matchup.
As of Thursday, the Raiders have 12 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, including key players like tight end Darren Waller, cornerback Casey Hayward and linebacker Denzel Perryman.
The majority of those 12 landed on the list earlier on the week but it did grow yesterday as the team announced defensive end Carl Nassib and guard Jordan Simmons were added to the list.
