DE Carl Nassib

Defensive end Arden Key is not expected to play on Sunday as he deals with a foot injury. Key missed all three days of practice and that means Carl Nassib could be in for a bigger workload against his former team.

Nassib has averaged around 20 snaps per game through the first seven weeks of the season, but don’t be surprised if that number moves closer to 40 here in Week 8. He’s also been one of the team’s better run defenders, so he might actually be a small upgrade this week given the opponent.

The Raiders are going to need their defensive ends to be stout against the run in this game as the Browns are currently averaging over 157 yards per game on the ground.
