Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said defensive end Chandler Jones is not expected to play in Sunday’s season opener at the Denver Broncos. Jones hasn't been in the Raiders’ facility this week.
HENDERSON, Nev. — Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones is not expected to play in Sunday's season opener at the Denver Broncos, according to Las Vegas coach Josh McDaniels.
McDaniels also said Friday that backup cornerback Brandon Facyson is not expected to play against the Broncos. The Raiders also need to clear a roster spot by Saturday because running back Josh Jacobs received a commissioner's exemption after not signing until Aug. 26. One possible way to get down to 53 players is to put Jones on the non-football injury list, which would mean he'd have to miss at least four games.
