Raiders vs. Steelers Injury Report – Week 6, 2024
See who's in and who's out for the Week 6 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders on October 13, 2024.OCTOBER 9 • DATA SKRIVE
Jakobi Meyers - Dealing with ankle issue Meyers (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact With Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Meyers' status is worth monitoring closely in the coming days. Over the last two games (both of which Adams has missed), Meyers has combined for 11 catches for 121 yards on 19 targets.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Divine Deablo - Past oblique issue Deablo (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Deablo missed Las Vegas' last three outings due to an oblique injury, but Wednesday's full practice indicates he's moved past the issue. Now that the fourth-year pro is healthy again, expect him to start alongside Tommy Eichenberg (hamstring) and Robert Spillane in the Raiders' linebacker corps.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Zamir White - Misses Wednesday's practice White (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact White, who missed this past Sunday's game against the Broncos, now has two more chances to practice in advance of this weekend's game against the Steelers. If the running back is forced to miss his second straight contest, Alexander Mattisonand Ameer Abdullah would continue to pace the Raiders' backfield in Week 6.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Maxx Crosby - Still dealing with ankle injury Crosby (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact The All-Pro edge rusher recorded three total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while playing through his ankle issue in the Raiders' Week 5 loss to the Broncos, so holding him out of Wednesday's practice is most likely precautionary. Crosby's participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of whether he can continue playing through this ankle injury in Week 6, when the Raiders host the Steelers.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
DJ Turner - Nursing hamstring injury Turner (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session.
Impact Turner got his first-career start in Week 5 against the Broncos and finished with one catch (on four targets) for 12 yards while adding five rushing yards on one carry. It appears he came out of that contest a little worse for wear, but he'll have two more opportunities to practice this week to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Christian Wilkins - Goes on IR as expected Wilkins (foot) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Wilkins' move to IR shouldn't come as a surprise as he already underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a Jones Fracture in his foot. The Clemson product is expected to be facing an extended absence, although a firm timeline isn't yet available. His placement on injured reserve will guarantee he misses at least the Raiders' next four games though.

Michael Mayer - Away from team still Mayer (personal) remains away from the Raiders, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mayer missed the past two games and appears in danger of missing another this Sunday against the Steelers. Harrison Bryant has taken on a lot more playing time in Mayer's absence, while Brock Bowers is still dominating the TE targets but hasn't gotten much of a playing-time boost.

Gardner Minshew II - Benched for O'Connell Minshew has been demoted to the backup QB role, with Aidan O'Connell named the starter for Week 6 against Pittsburgh, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Minshew kept the job for five weeks, going 2-3 while completing 70.7 percent of his passes for 7.2 yards per attempt with four touchdowns and five interceptions. His two worst statistical games were the most recent two, for which No. 1 wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) was inactive. O'Connell may also end up playing without Adams, who is still recovering from a hamstring injury and a frequent subject of trade rumors.
OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Aidan O'Connell - Taking over starting job O'Connell is replacing Gardner Minshew as the Raiders' starting quarterback this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Minshew is being demoted to the backup role after starting the first five games of the season. Coach Antonio Pierce said he doesn't anticipate going back to Minshew, but Pierce did leave the door open to make another change if he eventually feels one is needed, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. O'Connell will face the Steelers this Sunday.

Davante Adams - Unlikely to play Week 6 Adams (hamstring) isn't expected to play for the Raiders in Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Though Adams is believed to be nearing full health as he recovers from a hamstring injury that has kept him out for the Raiders' last two contests, he's not trending toward being available this weekend. Adams' expected absence for Week 6 may have less to do with the hamstring injury at this point than it does his desire to be traded, and the Raiders could honor that request and hold the wideout out of action until a deal is reached. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that trade discussions pertaining to Adams are expected to intensify this week, with the Saints and Jets currently viewed as the two favorites to acquire the 31-year-old receiver. The Steelers, Bills and Ravens are among the other teams who are believed to be in touch with the Raiders regarding Adams.

Raiders' Christian Wilkins heading to IR after foot surgery, AP source says
Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Christian Wilkins is heading to injured reserve after undergoing surgery for a broken foot and will be out indefinitelyOCTOBER 8 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Christian Wilkins - Out indefinitely with foot injury Wilkins underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a Jones Fracture in his foot that he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Wilkins injured his foot in the first half of Sunday's game and remained in the locker room after halftime. It's a devastating blow for the Raiders, who signed Wilkins to a four-year, $110 million contract in March to reinforce their defensive line alongside All-Pro Maxx Crosby and veteran John Jenkins. Wilkins will eventually be placed on injured reserve, and while he hasn't been ruled out for the year, a return won't likely happen until much later in the regular season. Adam Butler has been the Raiders' top rotational defensive tackle this season, and he should slide into Wilkins' starting spot from here on out.

Tre'von Moehrig - Gets season high in tackles Moehrig recorded eight tackles (four solo) and a pass defended in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos.
Impact Moehrig's eight combined tackles were a single-game high for him this season, bringing the TCU product's total to 28 for the 2024 campaign. The 25-year-old and the rest of the Raiders defense will work to get back on track in Week 6 against the Steelers.

Robert Spillane - Adds another 10 tackles Sunday Spillane racked up 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos.
Impact Spillane is tied for the NFL's lead in tackles with 54 through the first five weeks, notching no less than 10 takedowns in every contest thus far. The 28-year-old has played every possible defensive snap for the Raiders this season, and he figures to remain busy against the Steelers in Week 6.
