Raiders vs. Buccaneers game moved to 4:05 p.m. ET due to COVID-19 concerns

The Raiders will not be taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on primetime this week.

Instead, the Week 7 game that was scheduled to be played on Sunday Night Football has been moved to the afternoon slate, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The game will now be played at 4:05 p.m. E.T. on FOX rather than on NBC.

With some COVID-19 concerns in connection with the Raiders, the league moved this game out of the primetime slot in case this matchup needs to be rescheduled or canceled. With the entire offensive line missing practice for the second straight day for the Raiders, there are question marks surrounding this game and if it will be played at all.

We will continue to update this post as more information becomes available.
