Is Jakobi Meyers playing today? Injury updates for Raiders WR

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers has missed the past couple weeks dealing with an ankle injury. Is he back this week?

Week eight is here and the inactives are out. Among them is Harrison Bryant who was Questionable for the game with an elbow injury.

Jakobi Meyers injury update

Meyers is in line to start today against he Chiefs after missing the past two games with an ankle injury. Getting Meyers back is a big boost for the Raiders whose passing game has struggled to find suitable replacements for his role in the offense.

Since Davante Adams requested a trade, Meyers has been the team’s number one receiver, so he is vital to the success of the offense.

Harrison Bryant injury update

Bryant has been a reliable number two tight end since Michael Mayer was lost to an undisclosed illness and placed on the Non-football Illness list. He will be replaced by John Samuel Shenker with practice squad call up Justin Shorter as the team’s number three TE.

Dylan Parham injury update

Parham left three weeks ago with a foot injury and has missed the past few weeks. He has been replaced at right guard by Jordan Meredith.

Raiders get their number one receiver back at practice

The first real sign Jakobi Meyers could return to the lineup as the Raiders’ top receiver hits the practice field today.

After missing the past couple weeks with an ankle injury, Jakobi Meyers will take the practice Wednesday. This according to head coach Antonio Pierce. This opens up the possibility that Meyers could return to the lineup when the Chiefs come to town on Sunday.

With both Meyers and Davante Adams not in the lineup the past couple weeks, the Raiders offense struggled to get any kind of significant production from the wide receiver position.

Adams is now in New York, so the significance of having Meyers back can’t be overstated. He is the closest thing this team has to a number one receiver.

Without him, fellow starter Tre Tucker had difficulty getting open. He was consistently facing double teams down the field which led to just three catches for 36 yards over the past two weeks combined.

DJ Turner got the start in the slot, but the other outside receiver spot was shared by practice squad call ups Alex Bachman and Kristian Wilkerson. Neither of whom had a target in the loss to the Rams last Sunday.
