When the Raiders announced their inactives for the game, there was a mix-up and they initially sent out last week’s list. Jimmy Garoppolo, who missed the Week 7 game due to a back injury, was mistakenly included on the list. This caused quite a stir on social media as fans wondered if Garoppolo was still unavailable.
However, the Raiders quickly realized their mistake and issued a correction.
Fortunately, Garoppolo is fully recovered and ready to play for Monday Night Football.
In addition to Garoppolo, kicker Daniel Carlson, who was dealing with a right groin issue, is also active for the game. The Raiders had brought up kicker James McCourt earlier in the day as a backup option, but ultimately Carlson passed the pregame workout and got the green light.
Among the inactives for the Raiders are linebacker Divine Deablo, quarterback Brian Hoyer, cornerback Tyler Hall, wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson, defensive tackle Bryon Young, and defensive tackle Nesta Jade Silvera. This means that Aidan O’Connell will serve as the backup quarterback, with Hoyer ready to step in as the emergency third quarterback if needed.
On the other side, the Lions will have receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, who was questionable due to an illness. However, center Frank Ragnow is inactive for the game. Ragnow had been doubtful with calf and toe injuries. Graham Glasgow is likely to start at center, with Kayode Awosika at left guard and either Halapoulivaati Vaitai or Colby Sorsdal at right guard.
The Lions’ remaining inactives include offensive guard Jonah Jackson (ankle), running back David Montgomery (ribs), defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs, defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike, and cornerback Steven Gilmore.
