The Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs will square off in a Week 16 Christmas Game in the 2023 NFL season. Both teams come into the game fresh off wins in Week 15 and would fancy their chances on Monday.
The Las Vegas Raiders will need two players for tonight’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. According to the team’s injury report, tight ends Michael Mayer and Jesper Horsted are ruled out due to injuries. Both pass catchers missed practice sessions this week and won’t be on the pitch in this must-win game for the Raiders.
Furthermore, Brandon Facyson, Josh Jacobs, Kolton Miller, DJ Turner and Jack Jones are questionable for tonight’s matchup. They’ll likely be game-time decisions.
Las Vegas Raiders star running back Josh Jacobs was a limited participant in Friday’s training session. He could play against the Chiefs in tonight’s game.
The Raiders will hope that Jacobs can feature tonight, as he was impressive the last time he came up against Andy Reid’s side.
Jacobs rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in Week 12, embarrassing the Chiefs’ rush defense.
On the other hand, Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer has officially been ruled out of the game.
The versatile pass-catcher missed three training sessions and has been formally ruled out due to a toe injury.
Mayer is joined on the sidelines by fellow tight end Jesper Horsted, who is dealing with a hamstring injury.
In their absence, Aidan O’Connell might have to rely heavily on superstar wide receiver Davante Adams for significant gains versus the Chiefs.
