For a second straight day, as the Raiders prepare for the Wild Card match-up with the Texans, Donald Penn was missing from practice with the knee injury he suffered last week against the Broncos.
Based on what we’ve seen from Penn throughout his career, the odds seem likely he would be able to go. He hasn’t missed an NFL start in 9 years. We also saw last week Kelechi Osemele missed the first two practices in the week with a nagging ankle injury.
If Penn is unable to go, the most likely scenario would be Menelik Watson moving to left tackle and Austin Howard returning to start at right tackle.
It should be a concern even if Penn can play, being that he wouldn't be 100%. Following the injury in last week's game, he returned for the final play in which he was pushed into the back of Connor Cook who was thereby strip sacked.
Nate Allen was still missing from practice as he goes through the concussion protocol which raises the likelihood that Karl Joseph will start in his return to the lineup.
