ALEXANDER MATTISON ON RAIDERS-STEELERS INACTIVES
The Las Vegas Raiders’ offense is severely challenged this week as wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and running back Zamir White have been declared inactive for their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PT.
OFFENSIVE STRATEGY WITH KEY PLAYERS OUT
- Jakobi Meyers, the Raiders’ top receiver with Davante Adams absent, was downgraded from questionable to doubtful due to an ankle injury.
- Meyers has recorded 25 catches for 273 yards this season.
- With Meyers out, Tre Tucker and D.J. Turner will likely step up as primary receivers.
- Running back Zamir White is also inactive, missing his second consecutive game with a groin injury.
- Additional key players ruled out include tackle Thayer Mayer (knee/ankle) and linebacker Tommy Eichenberg (hamstring).
- Rookie DJ Glaze will be instrumental in replacing Mayer.
- Jackson Powers-Johnson and Trey Taylor are active despite injuries.
- Davante Adams continues to be sidelined with a hamstring injury, marking his third missed game.
As the Raiders adjust their offensive lineup, insights from players like Alexander Mattison on strategy will be vital for navigating the challenge posed by the Steelers.
