ALAMEDA – The Raiders received some good news on the injury front.

Head coach Jon Gruden said Monday there’s a chance cornerbacks Travyon Mullen (head/neck) and Lamarcus Joyner (calf) could play Sunday’s do-or-die game in Denver to wrap the regular season.

That’s great news for Mullen, who was involved in a scary incident where teammate Curtis Riley initiated helmet-to-helmet contract trying to make a tackle in Sunday’s 24-17 victory over the LA Chargers.

Mullen was on the ground for an extended period, strapped to a backboard and placed on a stretcher before being carted off the field. He was taken to a Carson-area hospital for further examination, but he was released in time to fly home on the team charter.

Gruden didn’t provide a specific diagnosis, but Mullen obviously is doing well if there’s a real prospect he’ll play against the Broncos.

He posted a "thank you" for all of the well wishes late Sunday night.

Getting Joyner back would lift up an ailing secondary that finished the Chargers game with a skeleton crew.

Gruden also said Josh Jacobs could be coming back after missing two of the last three games with a fractured shoulder. Jacobs has played through significant pain before, and it might be worth it with a playoff spot up for grabs.

The Raiders need to beat Denver and have a lot go right to claim the AFC’s No. 6 seed, but won’t know if the stars have aligned until after results of the afternoon kickoffs.

Gruden said the best guys will play regardless of playoff scenarios.

“We’re going to play the best players we have available and try to win the game,” Gruden said. “We don’t have enough bodies to rest players at this point.”

Gruden also said that left guard Richie Incognito (ankle) would be questionable heading into the regular-season finale.
