The Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars have released their final injury reports of the week ahead of their Week 16 matchup at Allegiant Stadium and a total of three players are questionable and one is doubtful between the two teams.
The Jaguars don’t have any players carrying a designation into Sunday’s game, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t missing key players.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, wide receivers Gabe Davis and Christian Kirk and tight end Evan Engram are on injured reserve. Mac Jones will be under center for Jacksonville for the remainder of the season, and the Jags are hoping tight end Brenton Strange and wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. continue to step up.
Las Vegas appears set to be without one of their guards in Jordan Meredith, who is doubtful to play due to an ankle injury. Of the three players listed as questionable, the only starter is cornerback Nate Hobbs, who was added to the injury report on Friday with an illness.
The Raiders will welcome the return of quarterback Aidan O’Connell, who sat out last week’s game with a knee bruise. O’Connell’s return will provide a boost to the Raiders’ offense after Desmond Ridder struggled mightily in his place last week.
Now, a look at the full list of injury designations for the Raiders and Jaguars ahead of kickoff on Sunday.
