Losing two starting offensive linemen in a week is tough. That’s what the Raiders could be facing heading into Los Angeles against the Chargers. They lost Donald Penn last week to a groin injury, leading to rookie Brandon Parker starting at the right tackle spot. And they could be without Pro Bowl guard Kelechi Osemele as well.
Osemele missed the first two days of practice this week before practicing limited on Friday. He is officially questionable for the game with a knee injury. Should he be unable to go, he will be replaced by utility interior lineman, Jon Feliciano.
“He played last week just fine. So if we have to play him, we’ll play him,” Gruden said of Feliciano. “We’re anxious to play the next guy up. Give the guy a great opportunity.”
Felciano played eight snaps on offense and 18 on special teams last week against the Browns.
The Chargers have some offensive line problems of their own. Right tackle Joe Barksdale is doubtful. He’s missed the past three weeks with a knee injury and has been replaced by Sam Tevi. Left tackle Russell Okung is questionable with a groin injury.
Out for the Chargers are receiver Travis Benjamin, pass rusher Joey Bosa, and linebacker Kyzir White
Raiders safety Karl Joseph will be out for a second straight week with the hamstring injury he suffered in week three in Miami.
