According to CBS Sports, Troy Andersen will not be able to play in tonight's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The ILB is dealing with a knee injury, which hasn't been able to heal sufficiently before Monday Night Football.
Andersen started the week on the injury report and missed every practice session in the leadup to tonight's game. Thus, it's unsurprising that he'll be watching from the sidelines. In his absence, expect Nate Landman to pick up the snap count as a direct replacement.
Casey Washington's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Casey Washington will not be available for tonight's game. The wide receiver is dealing with a concussion and hasn't been cleared by the league to feature versus the Raiders.
Washington suffered a head injury against the Denver Broncos in Week 11. He played in Week 13 but has been absent since due to concussion symptoms.
Las Vegas Raiders' injury report
Maxx Crosby's injury update
According to ESPN, Maxx Crosby will miss tonight's game and the rest of the season due to surgery. The superstar defensive end has been dealing with a lingering ankle issue since a Week 2 game against the Baltimore Ravens and has finally elected to undergo a procedure.
Crosby's absence will come as a major blow to the Raiders, as he's one of the best players at his position in the league. The hope now is that he'll be available for the start of next season, by which time an expected offseason roster overhaul might make the Raiders look completely different.
Sam Webb's injury update
According to Yahoo Sports, Sam Webb is doubtful about being featured in tonight's game against the Atlanta Falcons. The cornerback is dealing with a lingering back issue.
Webb was unable to participate in a single practice session all week. Thus, seeing him suit up against the Falcons will be a minor surprise.
