The Oakland Raiders just can’t seem to get all five of their starting offensive linemen on the field at the same time. And it appears that they likely won’t play together anytime soon as the injuries continue to mount up.
Oakland got some excellent news this week as starting left guard Richie Incognito was eligible to return from his suspension. However, they could go into Minnesota without their star right tackle in Trent Brown.
Brown has missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, and it is looking like he may not make the trip to Minnesota. If he can’t go, the team will turn to second-year player Brandon Parker, who graded out as one of the worst tackles in the league last season according to Pro Football Focus.
If Brown doesn’t play, that would be a massive loss for Oakland as he has the sixth-best win rate for offensive tackles, according to ESPN. He’s also one of the best run-blocking tackles, which could hurt Josh Jacobs this week. We will continue to update Brown’s status as more information becomes available.
