The last thing the Oakland Raiders could afford was to have more injuries on offense. With Amari Cooper and Seth Roberts already in the concussion protocol and their offensive line missing a few starters, the Raiders offense is in shambles, and it might be getting worse.

According to head coach Jon Gruden, running back Marshawn Lynch has a groin strain that the team is monitoring. They are concerned it may be a long-term injury that could force Lynch onto the injured reserve list.

If Lynch were to miss time, expect Doug Martin to see a healthy uptick in touches. Running back Jalen Richard will continue to get work on passing downs, and DeAndre Washington could see a more significant role. However, they won’t be able to replace Lynch’s leadership and production on offense. Losing Lynch would be a substantial blow to the entire Raiders organization.
