How the Las Vegas Raiders enter the game
The Las Vegas Raiders are led by head coach Klint Kubiak, who was appointed to the role on February 9, 2026, after serving as offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks. Although the franchise selected quarterback Fernando Mendoza out of Indiana University with the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins — signed to a one-year contract on April 6, 2026 — remains the starting quarterback and leads the NFL in touchdown passes. In the Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Cousins threw for 313 yards and 2 touchdowns.
On offense, Cousins works alongside tight ends Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, running backs Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr., wide receiver Tre Tucker — who recorded 5 receptions for 97 yards and 2 touchdowns in Week 6 —, center Tyler Linderbaum, left tackle Kolton Miller, and left guard Spencer Burford. On defense and special teams, the roster features linebackers Nakobe Dean (who registered 12 tackles in Week 6) and Quay Walker, defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway, kicker Matt Gay, and punter A.J. Cole. Addressing the unit’s preparation, Las Vegas Raiders special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis stated: “The one thing we got to improve on is our punt coverage, and that’s space tackling”.
On the official Week 7 injury report, the Las Vegas Raiders ruled out wide receiver Dont’e Thornton Jr. (hamstring) and tight end Carter Runyon (foot). Running back Mike Washington Jr. (foot/back) and linebacker Quay Walker (chest) are listed as questionable. Tight end Brock Bowers (hamstring/calf), defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway (concussion), left guard Spencer Burford (knee), and left tackle Kolton Miller (shoulder) appeared on the medical report during the week without a game status designation and are cleared to play.
How the Los Angeles Rams enter the game
The Los Angeles Rams are coached by Sean McVay, who is in charge of the California team. Quarterback Matthew Stafford leads the offensive unit, supported by wide receivers Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington, and Konata Mumpfield, tight end Colby Parkinson, and offensive lineman Alaric Jackson. On the defensive side, the roster includes defensive end Aaron Donald, outside linebacker Byron Young, and cornerbacks Josh Wallace and Trent McDuffie.
For the trip to Las Vegas, the Los Angeles Rams ruled out wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring injury) and inside linebacker Nate Landman (concussion). To fill the vacancy left by Landman, head coach Sean McVay confirmed the elevation of linebacker Eric Kendricks from the practice squad. Additionally, cornerback Trent McDuffie (groin, after not practicing during the week) and wide receiver Puka Nacua (calf, after leaving practice early) are listed as questionable.
Speaking about Puka Nacua’s physical condition during the week, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said: “You look at it, and there’s just a little minor thing in there, and felt it where he wasn’t able to have some of the power and full explosion, and just kind of noticed it. But I don’t think he was aware of any sort of specific play that led to it.”
