Raiders vs Chargers inactives: Starting WR Stevie Johnson won't play

With the Raiders and Chargers set to kickoff in just over an hour, the inactives have been announced. As of injury report, the Chargers had two players who were questionable -- tight end Ladarius Green and wide receiver Stevie Johnson. The former will play while the latter will not.

In Johnson, the Chargers lose their second leading wide receiver in terms of catches (45) this season despite having missed the last two weeks. He has started 8 of 10 games in which he appeared for the team. After being limited all week with a groin injury, he has been rendered inactive for the game.

For a second straight game, Neiko Thorpe is inactive for the Raiders. He was limited in practice all week with a neck injury.
