Tonight’s AFC West matchup features two of the healthiest teams in the league, potentially setting up an offensive shootout.
The Raiders lone offensive injury is to right guard Denzelle Good, who retired less than a week into the start of training camp. He was attempting to return from a torn ACL last season.
The remainder of the Las Vegas offense is healthy and No. 2 receiver Hunter Renfrow is back from his Week 2 concussion.
On defense, strong side linebacker Jayon Brown is out with a hamstring injury, but middle linebacker Denzel Perryman will return from a Week 4 concussion.
In the secondary, cornerback Anthony Averett is on IR with a thumb injury and depth cornerback Sam Webb is questionable to play with a hamstring strain.
Juju Smith-Schuster is the main injury to watch for the Chiefs. He is questionable to play with quad and hamstring injuries and will likely be limited if he suits up.
Right guard Trey Smith is questionable with a pectoral injury he picked up last week. Nick Allegretti would fill in at right guard if Smith can’t go.
On the defensive end, No. 1 cornerback Trent McDuffie remains on IR with a hamstring strain and weak side linebacker Willie Gay is out due to suspension.
Raiders vs. Chiefs Week 5 Odds
The Chiefs are favored by 7 points at home and the over/under is 51.5, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
