We are headed into the final quarter of the season. By this point, most players are dealing with something.
For Trent Brown, it’s been one thing after another. He was dealing with a knee just last week that caused him to miss practice. It was an ankle injury before that. This week it’s a pectoral muscle injury, so that’s worth keeping an eye on. It’s worth noting that despite these nagging injuries, he’s missed just one start this season.
The Raiders and Titans’ workhorse backs are also banged up. Josh Jacobs has been fighting through a shoulder injury for some time now and apparently Titans back Derrick Henry is dealing with a hamstring issue.
Those injuries had the two backs listed as non-participants in practice Wednesday. The Raiders’ practice was a walk-thru at an off-site location so Jacobs’ absence is an estimation. Either way, he has been dealing with this injury for some time, so there’s no reason to think it would keep him out this week. As for Henry, his practice status will be one to watch on Thursday.
Other Raiders not practicing include WR Hunter Renfrow (rib), and LB Kyle Wilber (ankle).
Other Titans not practicing include LB Daren Bates (shoulder), WR Adam Humphries (ankle), CB Adoree Jackson (foot), and CB LeShaun Sims (ankle).
