Raiders Downgrade LB Quay Walker Ahead of Rams Game

Walker is listed as a linebacker on the Raiders’ roster. His potential absence would give Las Vegas another defensive issue to assess before facing a Rams team that enters Week 7 at 2-4, fourth in the NFC West. Los Angeles has lost its last two games, including a narrow 18-16 defeat to the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 18.

The injury report also lists running back Mike Washington Jr. as questionable for Las Vegas with foot and back issues. For Los Angeles, wide receiver Puka Nacua is questionable with a calf injury, while linebacker Nate Landman has been ruled out with a concussion.

Walker was limited during the first two practices of the week before completing Friday’s session without a game-status designation on the team’s published report. The subsequent downgrade means his availability remains uncertain, although the available reporting does not establish whether he experienced a setback or explain the reason for the change.

The Raiders host the Rams on Sunday, Oct. 25, with kickoff scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET. Las Vegas will need to clarify Walker’s status before the game, while his questionable designation leaves open the possibility that he could still play.
