Raiders-Bills inactives: Both teams missing half their starting secondaries

With Karl Joseph doubtful for the game, that pretty sure bet he wouldn’t play. He is inactive for the Raiders game in Buffalo today, as is starting cornerback David Amerson.

But both teams are missing key starters. The Bills even more so. They’re without cornerback EJ Gaines, safety Jordan Poyer, linebacker Ramon Humber, and tight end Charles Clay to name a few.

Replacing Amerson in the lineup will be the combination of Sean Smith and Dexter McDonald. Replacing Joseph will be rookie Shalom Luani.
