by The Las Vegas Raiders will take on the Cleveland Browns tomorrow afternoon at Allegiant Stadium.
The game is between two battered squadrons; Many players will be missing from both teams.
For the first time in his Silver and Black tenure, the Raiders will be without defensive end Maxx Crosby. This breaks an 86-game winning streak for the Raiders’ top star.
Las Vegas will also be without star wide receiver Davante Adams. It will be a tough game against a good Browns defense without some of their top players.
The Raiders won’t use that as an excuse to give up the game. Coach Antonio Pierce’s team will do everything they can to avoid a third defeat.
However, despite being injured, the Browns have a few talented players who could cause problems for the Raiders.
Let’s break down who they are.
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy – A familiar face, the Raiders see Jeudy in a different uniform.
Since being traded from the Denver Broncos in March, Jeudy has had a solid season for Cleveland. He has caught 12 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown in three games.
Jeudy doesn’t have to be the No. 1 option in the passing attack, so he’s been able to slot into a deep role and has done well. Jakorian Bennett will tie the game with Jeudy, so the young corner should be ready for the talented pass catcher.
Cornerback Greg Newsome II – The Browns have one of the best slot corners in the game in Newsome.
According to Pro Football Focus, Newsome hasn’t allowed a touchdown on 12 targets in 2024. He’s a tall, stingy defender who doesn’t get beat often.
The Raiders passing attack may struggle without Adams, so slot receivers will need to win their matchups with enforcer Newsome.
Defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson – One of the most consistent run stoppers in the NFL, Tomlinson has been good on almost every team he has played for.
Tomlinson has posted five tackles and a sack this season. According to PFF, he has two run stops this season and a run defense grade of 69.6 this season.
With the Raiders struggling to run the football, they face a tough challenge Tomlinson middle up.
