It’s been almost a month since we saw the Raiders top two backs to start the season take the field for the team. Her is the latest on the two of them as the Raiders prepare to face the Atlanta Falcons in week 15.
Alexander Mattison injury update
He has missed the past three weeks with an ankle injury. He returned to practice last week and was Questionable only to be rendered inactive. Antonio Pierce updated his status on Wednesday.
“Well, he’s good,” said Pierce. “I mean, he’s close. I mean, just the numbers game being inactive, but I would assume this week he’ll probably be active.”
Zamir White injury update
The team placed White on injured reserve this week, with practice squad QB Carter Bradley taking his spot on the roster.
How long will Zamir White be out?
With just four games left, White is done for the season.
Running back depth chart
Sincere McCormick and Ameer Abdullah have gotten the starts since White and Mattison went down. Expect McCormick to keep his starting job. Pierce said McCormick will keep the starting job.
“Yeah, he deserves it,” Pierce said of McCormick starting. “The last three games, he’s running his tail off. So, keep running, keep pushing those numbers up, see if we can get him to 100.”
Mattison should share backup snaps with Ameer Abdullah.
