Week 17: Las Vegas Raiders Injury Report Update

The Las Vegas Raiders have sent a starting cornerback to injured reserve.

The Las Vegas Raiders (6-9) defense continues to get hit hard by injuries this late in the season.

Ahead of the team’s Week 17 game against the San Francisco 49ers (11-4) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev., the Raiders sent starting cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (knee) to injured reserve on Thursday.

Ya-Sin hit the practice field for the first time on Wednesday after being sidelined by a knee injury since Week 13.

It is clear that the Raiders were ready to shut him down, and allow other players to showcase their skills in the last two games of the season.

The rest of the injury report update didn’t have any big changes.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has been shut down for the rest of the season, and with that being said he will no longer practice with the team although being listed on the report with (NIR-personal) reason.

Tackle Jackson Barton (back), and running back Zamir White (ankle) continued to practice on limited roles, while guard Alex Bars (knee) and cornerback Nate Hobbs (quad) were full participants in practice on Thursday.

As for the 49ers, their 13 players on the injury report remained the same.

Quarterback Brock Purdy (oblique/rib) was no longer the only full participant on the field, as defensive lineman Nick Bosa (illness), tackle Trent Williams (NIR-rest) and punter Mitch Wishnowsky (illness) were all upgraded after missing practice on Wednesday.

Defensive linemen Arik Armstead (foot/ankle) and Kerry Hyder (ankle), along with running backs Jordan Mason (hamstring) and Christian McCaffrey (knee) remained limited, while defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ankle/knee) were upgraded to limited participants after missing practice the day before.

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot), defensive lineman Kevin Givens (knee), and cornerback Ambry Thomas (ankle) continue to be sidelined from practice.

The Raiders will face the 49ers on Sunday, New Year's Day, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

That game kicks off at 4:05 p.m. EST/1:05 p.m. PST and can be seen on FOX.
