The Las Vegas Raiders are going to be taking on the Los Angeles Chargers in a very competitive AFC West week 18 matchup. Earlier in the week, Raiders player Nate Hobbs was arrested for a DUI. There were many questions if he was going to play this weekend but Tashan Reed of The Athletic announced that Rich Bisaccia said that Hobbs will play on Sunday against the Chargers.

This is a very interesting decision from the Raiders and just shows that they care more about winning a football game than worrying about the problems of their players. With everything that happened with the Henry Ruggs incident, you would figure that the Raiders would be even harsher on their players getting involved in incidents like this than before the tragic accident.

This is a must-win game for the Raiders as they still do have an outside shot of making the playoffs. Hobbs is a good cornerback and he's certainly going to be able to help his Raiders team come away with a very tough win against the Chargers. The Chargers have one of the best offenses in all of football led by star Quarterback Justin Herbert. From the Raiders' perspective, if they do want to win this game, they're going to need all of their guys out there to contribute and walk away with a top victory.

It will be interesting to see what the Raiders decide to do with him once he potentially has a court appearance. That will not be until the summertime.
