The Raiders official injury report is out and it is not good news. It could mean the Raiders are without two starting linebackers heading to New England.

Sio Moore is officially out with an ankle injury he suffered in last Sunday's game against the Texans. Nick Roach questionable after being limited again in practice while he continues to recover from a concussion he received in the preseason.
The Raiders are already behind the 8-ball heading into Foxboro and now it looks very possible the Raiders will be without two of their three starting linebackers. Just rookie Khalil Mack remains of the starters.
Taking their spots in the lineup are Miles Burris and Kaluka Maiava. Burris has not played well in place of Roach. Which says something about Maiava's play considering he was supposed to be the backup middle linebacker coming into the season.
In addition, Antonio Smith appeared on the injury report on Friday for the first time with a back injury, making him officially questionable for the game.
Though Maurice Jones-Drew and Carlos Rogers both returned to practice on Thursday, they have been limited and are questionable as well. The Raiders could be seriously limping into Gillette Stadium Sunday which would make an already tough match-up that much more difficult.
