Key Jaguars injury just flipped the Raiders' Week 9 game plan upside down

The Las Vegas Raiders need to bring their "A" game to Allegiant Stadium in Week 9, as they're hosting a 4-3 Jacksonville Jaguars team that is eager to snap a two-game skid. Both teams are also coming off bye weeks, so they should be mentally prepared for each other.

While the Jaguars' strong run defense and excellent coverage linebackers were expected to pose issues for Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers, Jacksonville's average offense could serve as a reprieve for a Las Vegas defense that has struggled in two of its last three matchups.

But the crux of the Raiders' game plan centered around star Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter, who has been a contributor at both wide receiver and cornerback this season.
