The Kansas City Chiefs, the only team in the NFL still unbeaten this season, will look to extend their winning streak for another week when they face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

Following the placement of wideouts Rashee Rice and Marquise "Hollywood" Brown on injured reserve, the Chiefs' most significant news of the week was the addition of star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. He's expected to start against the Raiders, who are winless in three games.

Ahead of the game on Sunday afternoon, let's examine how Kansas City and Las Vegas are doing in terms of injuries.

Kansas City Chiefs injury report

According to the team's final injury report released on Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs don't have any players with a questionable designation going into their Week 8 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

They will, however, be without defensive end Michael Danna and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who are sidelined by pectoral and hamstring ailments, respectively.

All the other players who appeared on the team's injury reports throughout the week, including Kareem Hunt, Mecole Hardman and Justin Reid, have been cleared to play on Sunday.


Las Vegas Raiders injury report

Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, is among four players the Las Vegas Raiders have labeled as questionable heading into their Week 8 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.

The other players the team has designated as questionable are TE Harrison Bryant (elbow), LB Tommy Eichenberg (quad) and LB Kana'i Muaga (knee). Meanwhile, the Raiders won't be without guard Dylan Parham, who will be missing his second straight game due to a foot injury.

JuJu Smith-Schuster injury update

JuJu Smith-Schuster aggravated a hamstring injury he was carrying into the game and left the Kansas City Chiefs' win over the San Francisco 49ers early last week. The injury also kept him out of practice for the entire week.

It's unknown when the wide receiver will ecover from the injury, but it has been confirmed that he won't be available in Week 8.

Jakobi Meyers injury update

The unavailability of wideout Jakobi Meyers, who has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, has undoubtedly affected the Las Vegas Raiders offense, particularly after the team shipped away Davante Adams.

Meyers, though, is now preparing to take the field on Sunday against the Chiefs. Before his downgrading to DNP on Thursday, he began the week on Wednesday as a limited practice participant. According to reports, the team decided to give the receiver Thursday off as a rest day.

Jakobi Meyers was a full participant in practice on Friday and is expected to start against Kansas City, even though the Raiders designated him as questionable to play that game on their final injury report.

Maxx Crosby injury update

According to reports, Maxx Crosby was given a rest day off by the Raiders on Thursday, just like Jakobi Meyers. The defensive end sandwiched one DNP in between two full practice participations during the week.

Crosby is not carrying any injury designation into the Week 8 matchup with the Chiefs and is expected to start.
