Nick Kwiatkoski Could Miss Some Time
4 years agoLas Vegas Raiders linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski's (pectoral) MRI exam confirmed that he didn't suffer a torn pectoral muscle in the Week 1 win over the Panthers, according to a source. He could still miss time, but the injury isn't as severe as it initially looked, and the Raiders are in the process of determining his timeline. Kwiatkoski is a run-stuffing linebacker that can be of use in deeper PPR leagues, but it looks like he'll miss at least a little time. That will put more responsibility on Cory Littleton in the middle of the team's defense, with Raekwon McMillan potentially filling the middle linebacker role that Kwiatkoski occupies. In a Monday night showdown at home against the Saints in Week 2, the Raiders defense should be left on the waiver wire.
