For the second week, the Raiders will be without starting running back Latavius Murray. Also officially out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs is Menelik Watson and Vadal Alexander.
Some might remember Murray played hero two seasons ago against the Chiefs to help the Raiders win their first game after an 0-10 start. So, the Chiefs will be happy to see him on the sideline out of uniform.
Taking Murray's spot will be the rookie duo of DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard. The two equally shared touches last week, with both getting 15 combined between carries and receptions.
With Watson and Alexander out, Austin Howard will start at right tackle. Matt McCants will back him up at the position.
The Chiefs don't have anyone listed as anything for the game (not sure how they're allowed to do that), but head coach Andy Reid said today that all players will be "good to go" for the game, including apparently Tamba Hali despite missing practice Friday with a knee injury.
