The COVID-19 situation forced Jon Gruden to send his entire offensive line home Wednesday.
Offensive tackle Trent Brown is being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and because his fellow linemates have been near him Las Vegas was forced to send it home en masse.
The Raiders are scheduled to play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The #Raiders are placing RT Trent Brown on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, per source.
Contact tracing is underway; they’re coming off a bye and players were off Tuesday, so minimal recent contact. Facility is open and practice begins shortly.

Jon Gruden said #Raiders "had to send five starting linemen home because they were around Trent [Brown]," who will reportedly go on the COVID-19 list. "Hopefully we'll get some players back tomorrow for Sunday."
