One could say that the weakest area on the Raiders is their secondary and the weakest on the Broncos is their offensive line. In which case, for both teams their weakest just got weaker.
The Raiders will officially be without TJ Carrie against the Broncos. He missed practice all week with a chest injury he suffered while returning a punt last week in Chicago. He will be replaced at safety by Larry Asante.
Also out for the Raiders is Justin Ellis who had returned last week but who re-aggravated his ankle injury.
