The Oakland Raiders are looking for their first win on the road, and they have a good chance at getting that victory this afternoon against the New York Giants. After last week’s defensive breakdown against Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles, the Raiders will look to do a better job against Eli Manning and another NFC East foe. Terrelle Pryor could be in line for a huge game, and that would definitely do wonders for the Raiders. Below are the injury reports for both teams.
New York Giants
Out
CB Corey Webster (groin)- It’s sad to see the once-great corner constantly injured this season, and his injuries are clearly having an adverse impact on the entire Giants secondary. Without Webster, Pryor could really get the deep ball going to Denarius Moore and Rod Streater this week.
Doubtful
RB Brandon Jacobs (hamstring)- Could he have suffered a second setback on his nagging hamstring injury that is only getting worse? Jacobs managed to get back to the practice field on Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing on Friday and getting slapped with the “doubtful” tag.
Questionable
CB Jayron Hosley (hamstring)
CB Trumaine McBride (groin)
Probable
CB Terrell Thomas (knee)
WR Victor Cruz (neck)
TE Adrien Robinson (foot)
Oakland Raiders
Out
OT Matt McCants (toe)
RT Tony Pashos (hip)
CB D.J. Hayden (groin)- Hayden was absolutely awful in last week’s loss, and that undermined the positives we’ve seen from the rookie out of Houston this season. He suffered a groin injury in Wednesday’s practice that is too serious to play through, but I think he’ll only miss one game.
RB Darren McFadden (hamstring)- McFadden was never expected to play, and we’ll see what Rashad Jennings can do today.
S Tyvon Branch (ankle)
WR Juron Criner (shoulder)- The young wideout showed up well last week, but he has an AC sprain.
Questionable
G Andre Gurdoe (quadriceps)
LB Kaluka Maiava (rib)
Probable
QB Terrelle Pryor (knee)- He left last week’s loss with a knee injury but practiced all week and merely suffered a stinger.
K Sebastian Janikowski (rib)- Only missed Wednesday’s practice.
WR Rod Streater (hip)- He practiced all week.
CB Tracy Porter (shoulder)
WR Andre Holmes (hamstring)
