Cornerback Christian Gonzalez officially did not participate in Wednesday’s practice with a hamstring injury. Cornerback Charles Woods, who was claimed off waivers from the Rams, was limited with a concussion/groin injury.
On the Raiders’ side, cornerback Kyu Kelly (hamstring) and backup quarterback Kenny Pickett (hamstring) were both limited.
If Gonzalez can’t play on Sunday, expect Alex Austin and DJ James to take on bigger roles on defense. Woods is expected to back up slot cornerback Marcus Jones.
