Raiders Defense Hit Hard By COVID-19
4 years agoNearly the entire Las Vegas Raiders starting defense is going on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday because of high-risk close contacts with defensive end Clelin Ferrell, who tested positive for coronavirus. However, because they are just close contacts, they will be eligible to play against the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 11 if they continue to test negative, according to sources. The Raiders have been one of the teams hit the hardest by positive COVID-19 tests in 2020, and it continues in the lead-up to Week 11. They came into the week ranked 29th in the league in overall fantasy points for a defense and they should absolutely be ignored against the Super Bowl champions this weekend.
