The Las Vegas Raiders’ turnover and injury problems from the 2024 season are expected to carry over into the season finale when the 4-12 team hosts the 10-6 Los Angeles Chargers at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1:25 p.m. PT.

Las Vegas coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that it was doubtful whether Ameer Abdullah would play in the game. He was later ejected from the game. He missed practice all week because of a foot injury sustained late in a Week 17 win at New Orleans. Abdullah had the best day of his 10-year career in that game, rushing for a career-high 115 yards on 20 carries. It was the first time this season that a Raiders running back had a 100-yard rushing game. Abdullah’s season ends with him gaining 311 yards on 66 carries, an average of 4.7 yards per carry. He will be a free agent in 2025.

It’s been a tough season for Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, who left as a free agent in Green Bay. This week he was named to the Pro Bowl.

Jacobs’ expected replacement Zamir White was a disappointment and he ended the season on injured reserve. Free-agent signing Alexander Mattison, who is expected to start Sunday, has been up and down. Young Sincere McCormick came into action late but is on injured reserve.

The position is expected to be an area of ​​need in the offseason.

Chris Collier and Dylan Laube could also play with Mattison on Sunday.

Guard Jordan Meredith is questionable due to an ankle injury. If he can’t play, Jackson Powers-Johnson will start for him and Andre James will play center. The use of nickel cornerback Nate Hobbs is also questionable due to illness. He missed Week 16 due to an illness.
