Raiders vs Giants final injury report: LB Divine Deablo, FB Jakob Johnson both OUT

LB Divine Deablo and LB Luke Masterson OUT. LB Robert Spillane Questionable. Yikes.

The final injury report is out and so too are several Raiders players. Among them is linebacker Divine Deablo (ankle), LB Luke Masterson (concussion), fullback Jakob Johnson (concussion), and tackle Thayer Munford (neck).

As if it the linebacker corps wasn’t already thin, Robert Spillane is officially Questionable with an injured hand.

Last Sunday the Raiders found themselves down to Amari Burney and Curtis Bolton at linebacker. They signed Jaylon Smith this week off the Saints practice squad. It may be too much to ask him to be ready in a matter of days, so they will certainly be hoping at very least Spillane can go.

The Giants will be without former Raiders TE Darren Waller who suffered a hamstring injury last week, making his return to Las Vegas not as he had hoped.

Also OUT for the Giants is QB Tyrod Taylor and K Graham Gano.

Questionable are OL Evan Neal (ankle), OL Andrew Thomas (hamstring), and RB Jashaun Corbin (hamstring).

Today the Raiders made a move to try and fortify their linebacker corps. They signed Jaylon Smith off the Saints practice squad. The hope being that he can get up to speed quickly being that he played in Patrick Graham’s defense back in 2021 for four games.

It’s a stretch, but they have little choice in the matter. Currently they are facing being without Divine Deablo (ankle) and his replacement Luke Masterson (concussion).

In addition, Robert Spillane has an injured hand that kept him out of practice Wednesday and had him limited Thursday.

Raiders vs Giants Wednesday injury report: TE Darren Waller (hamstring) unlikely to face former team

Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) unlikely to face former team

You can bet the moment this year’s schedule came out, Darren Waller had Week nine circled on his calendar. Back in March, the Raiders traded the former Pro Bowl tight end to New York for a third round pick (100 overall).

Presumably one of the reasons now former GM Dave Ziegler made the move was because Waller had missed eight games in the 2022. And Waller has not missed a game this season for the Giants. A string that appears likely to end this Sunday.

Waller did not practice Wednesday with a hamstring injury.

That alone isn’t cause for immediate concern. But Waller himself is concerned his injury could not only have him missing the opportunity to face his former team, but cost him several more weeks as well.

It was a hamstring issue that plagued Waller last season which caused him to miss as much time as he did. And surely it’s quite frustrating. Waller was on pace to reach 85 catches for 923 yards this season before the injury, which would be his third best NFL season behind his 2019 and 2020 seasons with the Raiders — the latter had him in the Pro Bowl.

Funny thing is, while he is watching from the sideline at Allegiant, the coach and GM who traded him will be watching from home.
