Raiders lose two key offensive players to COVID-19 list
The Raiders will be without starting wide receiver Bryan Edwards and backup quarterback Marcus Mariota today against the Denver Broncos as both players have landed on the COVID-19 list.
To replace them, the Raiders have promoted quarterback Nathan Peterman and wide receiver Dillon Stoner from the practice squad.
Meanwhile, cornerback Nate Hobbs will return, as he was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. He missed last week’s win over the Cleveland Browns after testing positive the morning of the game. Cornerback Brandon Facyson and safety Roderic Teamer remain on the list, along with offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor.
Also on Saturday, the Raiders activated guard Lester Cotton, defensive back Kavon Frazier, wide receiver Tyron Johnson and defensive tackle Damion Square from the practice squad.
