Jalen Nailor

I'm just trying to get you to say nice things about, you know...

Uh, it can't be Jalen Nailor, unfortunately, but maybe Trey Tucker.

I mean, uh, he's-

Yeah

And, and that being said, you probably, you probably just double Brock Bowers all game.

Um, and even beyond that, Jalen Nailor, their wide receiver, who assumably at the beginning of this season was gonna be their wide receiver one, kind of is, uh...

He's in a con- in concussion protocol as far as I know.

Not sure if he's gonna play.

That's, that's their offense.

I think we can shut down the run game.

Not worried about Trey Tucker, Cody White, or Jalen Nailor, um, or really anybody else on that offense.

So I feel like that this could be a game where Buffalo could hold them to about 14 points if executed appropriately.

They're all tight ends and running backs.

Trey Tucker, Jalen Nailor, questionable, Cody White.

I've never heard of any of these guys.

[laughs] They're in the major league.

All right.

Now, also Kubiak said Jalen Nailor will return to practice today.

He's in the concussion protocol.

Philadelphia Eagles taking on Carolina, Bob.

Tonka Hemingway, my man, the dump truck, is in the concussion protocol after the Patriots game, and that matters against a Buffalo run game that's capable [chuckles] of grinding you down if Allen hands it off enough, or he can run it himself.

Jalen Nailor is also in the protocol still, though the word is he's expected to be back at practice maybe today, tomorrow, which would be a real boost for a receiver room that's brutal.

Patrick Johnson left the Patriots game with a neck injury and didn't return, and Tre Zun, like we said earlier, is, is out again up front with a knee.

So here's how I would frame this game honestly, not as a homer, not as a doomer.

For the Raiders, you're gonna be looking at Tonka Hemingway, one of their defensive tackles who's questionable and in the concussion protocol.

Wide receiver Jalen Nailor actually missed their last game with a concussion, although he hasn't been worth much to them yet so far this season.

They've got a guard who's questionable with a knee injury, uh, Tre Zun hasn't done much.

Deante Thornton Jr. ruled out with a hamstring, doesn't look like he's gonna be able to go.

Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer together, that tight end room for the Raiders is still not as good as the Buffalo Bills tight end room.

[laughs] It's, and that's, it's, it's a hot take, it feels that way, but at the same time when you look at what our tight end room means to our offense and what we do with it versus what they're able to do with Michael Mayer and Brock Bowers, it's crazy just how little impact on the overall makeup of a game those two are, or that room is able to have.

Meanwhile, J- Jalen Nailor, they spent $11 million a year on this guy, so imagine this is like a Josh Palmer kind of a thing.

He only has five catches through five weeks this year.

Is he pretty much, you kind of said it there, the only, like, big injury that they will probably have for Sunday?

Yeah, so they have Jalen Nailor, who's their, kind of their number two receiver, um, alongside Trey Tucker, that is working back from concussion protocol as well.

Um, he missed the last week, but practiced for the first time today in a non-contact jersey, so we'll see if he's, uh, he's available for the weekend.

But other than that, they're, they're pretty healthy.
