The first final injury report for the Raiders 2023 season is out. And with it are Chandler Jones and Brandon Facyson. Leaving the Raiders without two potential starters on defense.

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels announced at his press conference that he didn’t expect Jones or Facyson to play Sunday. This just makes it official.
Jones is out for personal reasons. He made a series of disturbing and concerning posts on social media this week and his status is week-to-week at this point. Rookie seventh overall pick Tyree Wilson and third year man Malcolm Koonce should get the bulk of the snaps in Jones’s absence.
Facyson missed a good portion of training camp and now his shin injury has officially moved into the regular season. Who starts at outside corner opposite Marcus Peters is not entirely known yet.
Carter was limited all week, which would suggest he could go on Sunday.
For the Broncos, it’s starting wideout Jerry Jeudy cornerback Riley Moss who are Questionable. Both were limited all week. Jeudy with a hamstring injury and Moss with an abdomen issue.
