Breaking: Massive Scare Disarray Awaits New Orleans Saints as Fans Favorite Suffer Another Major Injury Blow Ahead of…See Details
The Las Vegas Raiders are likely getting some key players back from injury for Sunday’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
On Friday, the club released its final injury report for the Week 6 contest.
Raiders updates
Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) and tight end Michael Mayer (NIR-Personal) have both been ruled “out” for Sunday’s contest. Mayer was placed on the reserve/non-football illness list today.
Rookie linebacker Tommy Eichenberg (hamstring), wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle), offensive tackle Thayer Munford Jr. (knee/ankle) guard Jackson Powers-Johnson, running back Zamir White and safety Trey Taylor (knee) have all been ruled listed as “questionable.”
Eichenberg was the only one of the bunch who didn’t practice on Friday. Meyers, Munford, Powers-Johnson and White were all limited, while Taylor was a full participant.
Should he play Sunday, it would be Taylor’s NFL debut. He returned to practice last week after being on injured/Reserve the first four weeks but was inactive for last Sunday’s game.
White missed last week’s contest. Munford has missed the last two.
Raiders linebacker Divine Deablo, who has played since Week 2, was a full participant all week and should be ready to go on Sunday.
Las Vegas will also be without star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, who was placed on IR this week.
Steelers updates
Steelers safety Damontae Kazee (ankle), linebacker Nick Herbig (hamstring), linebacker Alex Highsmith (groin), tight end MyCole Pruitt (knee), running back/kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) and defensive end DeMarvin Leal (neck) have all been ruled out for the Week 6 meeting.
Running back Jaylen Warren (knee) is listed as “questionable.”

Raiders place TE Michael Mayer on nonfootball illness list
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer, who has missed the past two games because of personal reasons, was placed on the non-football illness list Friday.
That means Mayer must sit out at least the next four games, beginning Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Also, wide receiver Davante Adams — subject of numerous trade rumors — will miss his third game in a row because of a hamstring injury.
Receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle), running back Zamir White (groin), guard Jackson Powers-Johnson (knee), tackle Thayer Munford (knee and ankle), linebacker Tommy Eichenberg (hamstring) and safety Trey Taylor (knee) are questionable.
Mayer, a second-year player, started the first two games this season and played in three, catching four passes for 21 yards.
The Raiders traded up last year to draft Mayer in the second round out of Notre Dame. But Las Vegas used its 13th pick this year on Georgia tight end Brock Bowers, who has more than justified the selection. Bowers leads NFL tight ends with 28 receptions for 313 yards and in Sunday’s 34-18 loss at Denver caught a 57-yard touchdown pass.
