Injuries are an awful reality of the NFL every year and the 2021 season was no different.

The Las Vegas Raiders felt the affect to injuries. In a study by Bookmakers.com, it was reported that that the Raiders spent an estimated $12,698,545 on players who lost games to injury. That breaks down to $746,973 a game. They lost a total of 173 games to injury.

While that sounds like a lot (the Raiders had their share of injuries, including losing star tight end Darren Waller for six games), it was less than most teams spent on lost games to injury last season.
