It’s never good to be without your number one tackler on defense and your best offensive player. But that’s what the Raiders could be facing this week with both LB Denzel Perryman (ankle) and TE Darren Waller (back/knee) starting the week not practicing.

Waller missed Sunday’s game against the Washington Football Team while Perryman suffered his ankle injury in the third quarter, causing him to miss 20 snaps.
The linebacker spot is currently hit the hardest by injuries. Along with Perryman missing practice, Nick Kwiatkoski was placed on IR, Patrick Onwuasor (hamstring) missed practice, Cory Littleton (shoulder) was limited as was Marquel Lee (ribs). Nicholas Morrow is still on injured reserve with no timetable for return.
Also not practicing today was DE Carl Nassib (knee) who missed Sunday’s game as well and DT Quentin Jefferson (back).
Meanwhile the Chiefs look pretty healthy with just one player missing practice and two other players limited.
