The final injury report of the week is out for the Raiders. Three players are listed as being OUT for the game -- DT Tonka Hemingway, WR Dont'e Thornton, and TE Carter Runyon. The latter two have yet to be activated from injured reserve.
The good news here is the return of Jalen Nailor who missed last week with a concussion.
"Well, Jalen's [Nailor] a playmaker," said head coach Klint Kubiak on Friday. "He's going to help us. He's going to help us win a lot of games this year, and I think obviously you don't want him to be out for a game, but it gives him a chance to freshen up, and he'll be an impactful player for us."
That "playmaker" has a grand total of five catches in four games this season.
Hemingway missed all week in the concussion protocol.
He will miss the game, leaving the Raiders without their best interior defensive lineman.

"Tonka's [Hemingway] been a very steady leader for us," said Kubiak. "He had a really good April, a really good training camp. We're going to miss Tonka this week, but it's opportunities for others."
Those who will see increased "opportunities" include Adam Butler, Folorunso Fatukasi, Thomas Booker IV, and Jonah Laulu. The team could activate JJ Pegues as well. The fellow 2025 draft pick has been inactive for all but one game this season.
The Bills had four players Questionable for the game -- WR DJ Moore (shoulder), DT Ed Oliver (knee), WR Josh Palmer (shoulder), and DT TJ Sanders (shoulder).
