It’s looking like Las Vegas will be down a starting linebacker and the guard was downgraded from Wednesday’s report
The Las Vegas Raiders might be without starting linebacker Divine Deablo for their Week 3 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
The Raiders released their second injury report of the week on Thursday and Deablo missed his second practice in a row with an oblique injury and a concussion. The latter is especially concerning given the NFL’s strict concussion policy.
If Deablo can’t go, expect Luke Masterson to be elevated to the starting lineup. Masterson got some playing time on defense last Sunday in Baltimore and recorded three total tackles on 12 snaps, according to Pro Football Reference. Also, rookie linebacker Tommy Eichenberg was on Thursday’s report with a knee injury. Granted, Eichenberg was upgraded from a limited participant on Wednesday to a full participant.
On the other side of the ball, starting right guard Dylan Parham was downgraded from full to limited on Thursday with a knee injury. If Parham is out, the Raiders have a few options at right guard that could include rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson making his NFL debut as Powers-John hasn’t been listed on the report this week. Jordan Meredith, DJ Glaze and Andrus Peat would be the team’s other options.
