A theme of the past two seasons for the Las Vegas Raiders have been a string of mostly good health.
After the Raiders were one of the least injured teams in 2025, that trend has continued this season, which is a nice nod to the team’s medical team and, of course, some of it is simply good luck
Going into Week 9, the Raiders had just five starters miss a total of six games. They were tight end Brock Bowers (2), safety Tredyan Stukes, guard Jackson Powers-Johnson, wide receiver Jalen Nailor, defensive
tackle Tonka Hemingway and cornerback Darien Porter. Guard Trey Zuhn suffered a concussion in Week 9.
Meanwhile, the Raiders’ opponents have been ravaged by injuries when they met Las Vegas. Here is a list of Raiders’ opponents this season who had starters who either missed the game against Las Vegas or who were injured against the Raiders:
- Los Angeles Chargers, tight end David Njoku
