Running back has been dealing with an ankle injury
Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison is inactive again Friday at the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday at Arrowhead Stadium. Kickoff is at noon PT.
Mattison was listed as questionable on the injury report. He was limited in practice this week after missing a 29-19 Week 12 home loss to the Denver Broncos with an ankle injury. Mattison, who has been the Raiders’ starting tailback much of this season, has 320 yards rushing this season for the Raiders, who have struggled on the ground all season.
Fellow Las Vegas running back Zamir White will miss his second straight game with a quad injury. Wednesday, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce indicated running back Sincere McCormick will play a lot at Kansas City. He had runs of 11 and 19 yards and had 33 yards on five carries in his NFL rushing debut against Denver. Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube are also playing.
In addition to White and Mattison, Nate Hobbs (ankle) is still out. Here are the Raiders’ other inactive players Friday:

The Chiefs are down another kicker. Perhaps it will be a factor.
The #Chiefs are down to their third kicker today with K Spencer Shrader out due to injury. Matthew Wright will be Kansas City’s kicker today.
