The Las Vegas Raiders received positive injury news ahead of Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams at Allegiant Stadium. Rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. and linebacker Quay Walker, both listed as questionable, are officially active for the game.
Walker was a late addition to the injury report Saturday with a chest injury that limited his practice participation all week. He and safety Jeremy Chinn are the only Raiders defenders to play every snap this season. Washington missed Thursday and Friday practices with foot and back injuries but cleared to play.
The Rams will also have their top receiver, Puka Nacua, available after he tested his calf in a pre-game workout. However, Los Angeles is dealing with significant absences, including receivers Davante Adams and top linebacker Nate Landman, while cornerback Trent McDuffie is inactive with a groin injury.
For the Raiders, defensive tackle Thomas Booker IV is a surprise inactive. He is joined on the inactive list by defensive tackle Jonah Laulu, offensive lineman Bryce Cabeldue, safeties Dalton Johnson and Tristin McCollum, and defensive end Cian Slone. Practice squad call-up Tim Keenan III will make his Raiders debut at defensive tackle.
Las Vegas is attempting to win its first home game since Week 1 and snap a three-game losing streak against a Rams team missing several key defensive pieces, including defensive tackle Poona Ford and defensive end Kobie Turner, who were both placed on injured reserve this week.
