The person said video shows the starting offensive linemen were not following the protocols.
If not, we have to have somebody step up in his place and play at a high level.โThe Raiders have now had eight players placed on the COVID-19 list since the start of the season, including the seven currently on the list.
Defensive tackle Maurice Hurst was put on the COVID-19 list two weeks ago before being activated on Monday.
