With it being Week 7 of the 2014 NFL season it should come to no surprise that both teams this week have a substantial amount of players listed on their injury reports. Just about every team around the league's reports look this crowded too.
The Raiders have three starters that are questionable for this game in FB Marcel Reece, DE Justin Tuck, and RT Khalif Barnes. All three of those players were limited in practice on Friday and did not participate at all on Wednesday leaving their statuses for this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals very much in doubt.
If Khalif Barnes is unable to suit up it will once again be 2nd year player Menelik Watson taking his spot along the line. Menelik played well in his first start of the season in Barnes stead last week against the Chargers and will looking to take advantage of his opportunity to regain his starting spot that he lost in the preseason. Justin Tuck would be replaced by C.J. Wilson in the starting line up and Reece would have Jamize Olawale replacing him.
The Arizona Cardinals are not without their share of injuries either as they have a long list of players on their injury report as well, though most of them are listed as probable which indicates an extreme likelihood of them playing. The one big exception is that of DE Calais Campbell is already called OUT for this game, a stroke of luck for the Raiders considering Campbell is one of the best DE's in the league.
