Raiders' Jakobi Meyers Doubtful Against Steelers Due to Ankle Injury

Las Vegas faces a depleted receiving corps with both Meyers and Davante Adams likely sidelined for the upcoming game.

  • Jakobi Meyers, the Raiders' leading wide receiver, has been downgraded to doubtful for the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers after suffering an ankle injury.
  • Star receiver Davante Adams will miss his third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury, leaving the Raiders' receiving options limited.
  • Second-year quarterback Aidan O'Connell is set to make his first start of the season, replacing Gardner Minshew, who was benched earlier this week.
  • Tre Tucker, with 18 receptions for 190 yards, is expected to be the primary target in Meyers' absence, alongside tight end Brock Bowers, who leads the team in receptions.
  • The Raiders have activated receivers Alex Bachman and Kristian Wilkerson from the practice squad to bolster their thin receiving lineup for Sunday's matchup.
