Raiders-Ravens inactives: Jordy Nelson will play, Alex Collins will not

This week Jon Gruden was optimistic Jordy Nelson would be able to play after missing a week with a bone bruise in his knee. Nelson is indeed a go for the Raiders as they face the Ravens in Baltimore today.

Even with Nelson back, the Raiders still have newly re-signed Keon Hatcher active as well as Johnny Holton who was called up from the practice squad this week, giving them six wide receivers along with Seth Roberts, Marcell Ateman, and Dwayne Harris. Though Harris and Holton are more special teams guys than wide receivers.

Here are the inactives:

Raiders

DE Fadol Brown

WR Martavis Bryant

CB Leon Hall

G/T Denver Kirkland

LB Emmanuel Lamur

T Justin Murray

OL Ian Silberman

Notes: In place of Leon Hall at nickel cornerback will be Nick Nelson.

Ravens

RB Alex Collins

QB Joe Flacco

WR Jordan Lasley

OLB Tim Williams

CB Tavon Young

OL James Hurst

OT Zach Sieler

Notes: Starting at running back in place of Alex Collins will be Gus Edwards.
