RG Ereck Flowers will travel to Vegas. Likely still a game time decision but as Ron Rivera said Friday there is optimism. He’s questionable with a foot issue.

— John Keim (@john_keim) December 4, 2021

Washington Football Team WR Curtis Samuel (groin) is still listed as questionable, but he is getting healthier and is expected to play today, source said.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 5, 2021

All four players listed as questionable to play for Washington — RG Ereck Flowers, C Tyler Larsen, WR Curtis Samuel and TE Ricky Seals-Jones — are traveling with the team to Las Vegas.

TE Darren Waller (back/knee) has been ruled OUT for tomorrow’s game vs. Washington. #Raiders

— Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) December 4, 2021

#Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (ankle) and WR DeSean Jackson (calf), both of whom are listed as questionable, are expected to play today barring a setback vs WFT, source said.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 5, 2021

You’re kidding, right? Raiders have the best 1-2-3 punch for the TE position in the league with Waller, Moreau, and Carrier. I’m not worried.

As we all look for bargains during the holiday season, let's make sure we celebrate one of the best steals of all: DeAndre Carter https://t.co/SheEB2nmkw

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) December 4, 2021

While most would say Carr improved under Gruden, Del Rio essentially shrugged:
“Not really. Same guy. He was good when we had him and he’s good now. He’s doing a nice job. They have weapons & do a good job of getting them open & him delivering the ball.” https://t.co/YVv4ZYx8Qn

— Vic Tafur (@VicTafur) December 4, 2021

With Jack Del Rio coming to town, here's winning % of every #Raiders coach since HOF Tom Flores:
Del Rio .521
Shell .519
Gruden .513
Jackson .500
Bisaccia .500
White .469
Callahan .469
Shanahan .400
Cable .386
Turner .281
Kiffin .250
Bugel .250
Sparano .250
Allen .222

The player nobody is mentioning that could really impact the Raiders game is Landon Collins. After starting the year badly, he has been a key component of the team's recent defensive surge, and I think his absence will be felt. Harder to stop the run & get pressure on Carr.

Interestingly, Raiders tight end Darren Waller has 2 TD catches on 84 targets, 53 catches.

His backup, Foster Moreau, has 3 TD catches on 19 targets, 12 catches.

Waller is doubtful for today's game, but Moreau is a capable backup.

Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts very well may be out Sunday due to his sprained ankle, as @RealDGunn reported. But the Eagles want to see how Hurts is feeling on gameday before making any final decisions about the QB’s status.

I hate to see Hurts out. But who’s excited to see Garner Minshew play Sunday? I mean … pic.twitter.com/T7OX5Xs6IR

A week ago, Jake Fromm was essentially QB4 in Buffalo, unprotected on the practice squad and potentially out of the league if luck turned against him.

On Sunday, Fromm is QB2 for the Giants. He'll get a uniform on game day for the first time and he's one play away from NFL debut

#Rams HC Sean McVay has said on a few occasions OBJ's hip pointer isn't a problem.

OBJ was limited in practice Wednesday and DNP Thursday, indicating it may be at least a bit of a problem. #RamsHouse

#49ers CB Josh Norman was not fined for unnecessary roughness for what appeared to be a double-fisted kidney punch on #Vikings WR Adam Thielen last week.

Carson Wentz has played 747 of the Colts' 759 snaps this season -- 98%. Colts average 63 plays per game, putting them on pace to run 1,075 plays this season. If the Colts maintain that average over their last five games, Wentz could clear the 75% mark by playing every snap today.

This is high level and detailed stuff from Jameson Williams. Slight jab step off the line to open up the hips of the CB then sinks his hips at the top of the stutter and go then flashes his hands late on the catch. pic.twitter.com/Gd4E6SRHte

Here's another video of bees falling out of the sky when the lights go out. I'm surprised it's an on/off choice for them - no graceful trying to glide to land or anything like that, they literally just stop flying and plummet. Surely that's more dangerous than keeping flying? pic.twitter.com/TotxihLywQ
