Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is set to miss his second game in a row due to an ankle injury when Las Vegas plays against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
The Raiders are likely to be short-handed again at this position. Star receiver Davante Adams has missed the last three games because of a hamstring injury and was traded to the New York Jets on Tuesday.
Meyers ranks second on the team with 25 catches for 273 yards and one touchdown. Tight end Brock Bowers leads the team with 37 receptions for 384 yards and a touchdown.
Coach Antonio Pierce mentioned on Friday that the team needs to find ways to get receiver Tre Tucker involved in both the offense and special teams. Tucker was targeted twice in Sunday’s 32-13 loss to Pittsburgh but did not catch any passes.
For the season, Tucker has 18 catches for 190 yards and one touchdown. “We just didn’t get the touches to him,” Pierce said. “Shame on us, but hopefully that’s not the case this week.”
Pierce also said guard Dylan Parham will not play because of a foot injury, but right tackle Thayer Munford is back after missing the last three weeks due to knee and ankle injuries. Rookie DJ Glaze has played well in Munford’s absence.
Munford has played multiple positions, and Pierce stated that the staff would work on Friday and Saturday to decide who would start on the offensive line.
