The Chargers were also without their best pass rusher. Joey Bosa has missed both practices so far this week with hamstring and toe injuries.
Also missing for the Chargers the past two days are TE Gerald Everett (illness), S Alohi Gilman (heel), S Derwin James (hamstring), and C Corey Linsley (illness).
All of the players missing for the Chargers are starters, so obviously any of them missing the game would be significant.
In addition, Austin Ekeler was limited while he continued to try and return from an ankle injury he suffered in the season opener.
Other Raiders players who missed practice were LB Curtis Bolton and S Roderic Teamer. Both are special teams standouts.
