Alexander Mattison, Zamir White Miss Practice Again

19 hrs ago

Las Vegas Raiders running backs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quadriceps) both missed practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Unless one or both of them return to practice on Friday, the Raiders could be heading into Sunday's divisional contest against the visiting Denver Broncos with Ameer Abdullah and rookie Dylan Laube as their top backs against a top-five defense. No matter how you slice it, having any Raiders RB in your starting lineup this week in a bad matchup isn't ideal, but with six teams on bye in Week 12, it might be necessary for some. The Raiders could get Laube much more involved, but probably only if both Mattison and White sit out. In last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins, Abdullah had one carry for one yard and caught three passes for 16 yards and his second TD of the season. He'll be no better than an RB3/flex if Mattison and White are inactive.
