With a 2-7 record and the mathematical reality that the playoffs aren't coming, the Las Vegas Raiders' coaching staff should not be married to much in terms of snap deployment that isn't injury-forced. A tilt toward younger players seems natural on that front.

Of course, some lineup decisions will still be injury-driven. Right guard Jackson Powers-Johnson has officially been placed on IR with the ankle injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos, and he might be out for the season.
