The Oakland Raiders fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 and to make matters worse, a couple of their offensive skill players were sidelined to end the game. Following their loss, Josh Jacobs and Tyrell Williams are both dealing with injuries.

On Sunday, the Raiders got off to an early start with a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. Then, Patrick Mahomes happened and Kansas City remarkably took a 28-10 lead into the locker room at halftime. In the end, that's all the Chiefs needed; with the game finishing with a score of 28-10.
To make matters worse, both Jacobs and Williams left this game with injuries. Neither injuries are expected to be serious but they are ailments that could linger throughout the year.
The Raiders rookie rusher was off to a decent start in his second career game in the NFL with 12 carries for 99 yards. Unfortunately, Jacobs left the game in the fourth quarter when Jon Gruden saw the game was well out of hand.
As some may know, Jacobs was unable to participate in the NFL Combine due to a groin issue. Considering that, hopefully his current groin injury isn't a reoccurring injury from earlier in the year.
As for Williams, the Raiders free-agent acquisition seems to be dealing with a hip pointer. The speedy wideout was able to haul in another touchdown for the second consecutive game but he exited early in the fourth quarter.
The Raiders aren't expected to be without Jacobs or Williams in Week 3 but their injuries will be something to monitor throughout the week.
