Raiders avoid sudden, major NFL COVID-19 wave so far

The biggest wave of positive tests for the coronavirus this season has struck the NFL this week, but thus far, the Las Vegas Raiders have not been affected.

In fact, Las Vegas activated backup running back and kick returner Jalen Richard from the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday and he should be ready to play at the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Monday and Tuesday, a total of 65 NFL players were put on the list. For most of the season, the spread of the virus was controlled around the league. The only Raiders to miss games this season because of the coronavirus are Richard and long snapper Trent Sieg.
