Michael Mayer Unable To Practice Wednesday

11 months ago

Las Vegas Raiders tight ends Michael Mayer (toe) and Jesper Horsted (hamstring) were both unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday during their walkthrough. Neither Mayer nor Horsted were active for Monday's Christmas Day upset of the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. With both tight ends out, Austin Hooper didn't exactly benefit all that much, catching two passes for 13 yards despite playing nearly 90 percent of the offensive snaps. The 22-year-old Mayer is going need to get back to practice if he wants to play this Sunday versus the Indianapolis Colts. He did find a way into the end zone for the second time in his rookie season back in Week 15, but Mayer has only 27 receptions for 304 yards on 40 targets in his first 14 NFL games and won't be a reliable fantasy option at the TE position in championship matchups if he returns to play this weekend.
