The Las Vegas Raiders were hurt heading into their bye week.
The break could not have come at a better moment for the Silver and Black, who were desperate for their players to recover before the last and most important stretch of the season.
Before the first Week 14 injury report is revealed on Wednesday, here are several injuries to keep an eye out for:
Maxx Crosby
The Raiders’ most worrying health situation right now is that of Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby, who played despite a knee injury in their last game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
In Week 12, Crosby experienced what was likely the most difficult week of his NFL career. Despite being hospitalized and deemed questionable for the Chiefs game, he took the field and performed admirably.
Since Week 5, the fifth-year defensive end has been listed as out with a knee ailment. While he’s mostly been limited or absent from practice in order to be available for game-day plays, Crosby’s knee injury has become a major issue for him, and the organization has taken precautionary measures to heal it.
Despite being labeled as questionable, Raiders captain Kolton Miller returned to the field for the Kansas City game after missing two straight games.
Miller has been suffering from a shoulder issue. Miller has missed just three games in five seasons before to his two-game absence this year, highlighting how serious this injury has been for the veteran offensive tackle.
Miller was able to play 91 percent of the snaps in the Week 12 game, which is a good indication for Raider Nation, as the captain will be needed down the stretch.
