It has seemed like the news for the Raiders has gotten worse and worse throughout the early part of this season. Before the opener, there was the Antonio Brown drama coming to a head leading to his release. They already knew there were going to be without their two starting guards for the first two weeks, and starting right guard Gabe Jackson for longer than that.
Then in the season opener they lose rookie first round pick safety Johnathan Abram. Last week their linebacking corps was depleted including losing Marquel Lee for the season.
