The Oakland Raiders will be without two key pieces to their offense when they travel to face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16 of the 2019 regular season.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, running back Josh Jacobs will not play this weekend, as he’s currently dealing with a shoulder injury. Offensive tackle Trent Brown’s season has come to an end as he was placed on the injured reserve.
Raiders’ coach Jon Gruden says OT Trent Brown is being placed on IR.

Jacobs, who is contention for Offensive Rookie of the Year, has been dealing with the injury since Week 7. When he played the Chargers in Week 10, Jacobs amassed 101 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, including the winning score with over a minute remaining.
The former Alabama product has rushed for 1,150 yards this season with seven touchdowns.
Prior to being placed on the IR due to a pectoral injury, Brown missed the past two contests. Brown, who was named to his first Pro Bowl on Tuesday night, has helped Oakland’s offensive line rank among the league’s best this season.
