Raiders-Buccaneers injury report: Aidan O’Connell ready, Jakobi Meyers questionable

2 other key players are out

Thursday’s concern became Friday’s relief for the most part.

Friday morning, Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce told reporters both quarterback Aidan O’Connell and No. 1 wide receiver are “ready to go” to practice Friday and thus, they will are on pace to play Sunday at the 6-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. PT. Both players missed Thursday’s practice. O’Connell was ill and Meyers was out with an ankle issue.

The Raiders released their injury report for the game Friday afternoon. O’Connell is off the injury report, but Meyers is listed as questionable. He is, by far, the Raiders’ best wide receiver.

In no surprise, both running back Zamir White (quad) and cornerback Nate Hobbs (ankle) were ruled out Friday. They didn’t practice all week. Hobbs has missed three games and White has been out for two games.

Running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) practiced on a limited basis and is questionable. He missed the past two games. He did practice last week on a limited basis before missing the Kansas City game. Whether Mattison plays or not, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said rookie Sincere McCormick will continue to get plenty of carries. He has a total of 17 rush attempts in the past two games.

Meanwhile, for Tampa Bay, offensive standouts, wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring/calf) and running back Bucky Irving (hip/back) both practiced Friday after they both missed the first two days of the practice week. Irving is questionable and Evans is not on the injury report.
