Trent Brown has officially been ruled out for Sunday’s contest against the Tennessee Titans with a pectoral injury and will be replaced at the right tackle spot by second-year pro Brandon Parker.
That will be a major blow to the Raiders offense line and especially their pass protection as they enter an all-important AFC showdown. Per Football Outsiders’ Aaron Schatz, the Raiders have a 25 percent chance of making the playoffs with a win, and just a 1 percent chance of making it with a loss on Sunday.
Parker struggled immensely during his rookie season in Oakland, so confidence in him isnt exactly high.
