The Las Vegas Raiders will be without some key players on Sunday as they face the Minnesota Vikings. But, most importantly, they will be without star player Kolton Miller, who is one of the best left tackles in the league.

The good news is that Maxx Crosby will be active after hearing reports that he was likely to play, as he missed two practices during the week and was questionable on the injury report.

Sunday is a very important game, as the Raiders could really start making a push for the playoffs with a win. However, these guys will not be a reason they win or lose on Sunday, as they are inactive:

  • LT Kolton Miller
  • QB Brian Hoyer
  • LB Amari Burney
  • DT Byron Young
  • DT Nesta Jade Silvera
  • TE Jesper Horsted
  • DE Malik Reed

If the Raiders win, they will be 6-7 and possibly a game back of the wild card spot if all goes right.
