The Raiders have completed their final practice of the week as they prepare to travel to New England to take on the Patriots in Week 3. The team got a bit of good news on Friday as offensive stars Josh Jacobs and Darren Waller returned to practice. Both are listed as questionable for this week, but are expected to play on Sunday.
However, starting right tackle Trent Brown continues to miss practice and he will be out this week along with starting linebacker Nick Kwiatkowski. Expect Nicholas Morrow to continue to start in his place next to Cory Littleton.
As of the right tackle situation, Denzelle Good is expected to start once again in place of Brown and Sam Young. Also, expect rookie guard John Simpson to start in favor of Richie Incognito, who was placed on the injured reserve list early this week. Incognito will miss at least three games, but the Raiders are expecting him to return shortly after.
The biggest news from the report was that starting receiver Henry Ruggs III has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. Ruggs practiced on Thursday but did not go through any activity on Friday. Look for veterans Nelson Agholor and Zay Jones to fill in for Ruggs:
