Las Vegas Raiders vs. Washington Football Team injury report and starting lineup - NFL Week 13
The Las Vegas Raiders will host the Washington Football Team at the Allegiant Stadium in Week 13 in a crucial game for the immediate future of both franchises.
Both teams are chasing a playoff spot and a victory would go a long way in helping them continue on their path.
On Thanksgiving, the 6-5 Raiders snapped their three-game slump with an impressive 36-33 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The 5-6 Washington Football Team were able to get back up to within .500 with their third win in succession last week.
Ahead of this colossal matchup, here's the injury report and starting lineup for the Raiders and Washington.
Las Vegas Raiders vs. Washington Football Team injury report
Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders were hit by the injury bug ahead of their clash against the Washington Football Team on Sunday.
Defensive end Carl Nassib and linebacker Patrick Onwuasor will sit out due to knee and hamstring issues. But perhaps the most significant loss is tight end Darren Waller, who will sit the game out with knee and back troubles. The tight end has been stellar all year long and the Raiders will sorely miss him on the field.
Washington Football Team
The Washington Football Team is down four players for their game against the Raiders. Safety Landon Collins has a foot injury and won't suit up on Sunday. Defensive back Benjamin St-Juste could not clear the concussion protocol and he too will miss the game against Washington.
Running back J.D. McKissic also won't suit up due to a concussion. The team will be sweating about the fitness of wide receiver Curtis Samuel and tight end Ricky Seals-Jones ahead of the game on Sunday.
