Raiders-Panthers injury report: Divine Deablo ruled out

But some key players will be on the field Sunday

It appears the Las Vegas Raiders will be without starting linebacker Divine Deablo on Sunday when they host the Carolina Panthers at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is set at 1:05 p.m. PT.

Las Vegas coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that the fourth-year player will likely not be available for the game. He was ruled out later Friday. He was injured in the win at Baltimore on Sunday and has missed practice all week with an oblique injury and a concussion.

Luke Masterson will likely take his spot in the lineup. He played three defensive snaps at Baltimore and had three tackles. Perhaps rookie, fifth-round pick, Tommy Eichenberg will get some defensive snaps. He played on special teams in his NFL debut against the Ravens.

Rookie cornerback, fourth-round pick Decamarion Richardson, will also likely be out with a hamstring injury that prevented him from playing in the first two games. He is listed as doubtful to play Sunday.

But there is some good injury news for the Silver and Black.

Pierce said Friday, as expected, star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby, rookie guard Jackson Powers-Johnson and defensive end Tyree Wilson will all play Sunday.

Crosby injured his ankle late in the win over Baltimore on Sunday and was limping heavily after the game. Crosby, who hasn’t missed a play this season, has never missed a game in his six-season career despite having several ailments. He practiced all week. Pierce called him “the ultimate warrior.” Crosby is listed as questionable on the injury report.

Jackson Powers-Johnson will be make his NFL debut Sunday. The second-round draft pick from Oregon has missed the first two games after overcoming an illness. Powers-Johnson missed much of training camp as well as he was dealing with a concussion.

The Raiders have used both, free-agent additions Cody Whitehair and Andrus Peat at left guard. There is a reasonable chance to think Powers-Johnson will play against the Panthers.

Also, defensive end Tyree Wilson will be back Sunday after missing the Ravens’ game with a knee injury he suffered in the first half of a Week 1 loss to the Chargers. Wilson is listed as questionable on the injury report.

Star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins has been limited all week with a knee injury and he is questionable Sunday.
