The Las Vegas Raiders face significant challenges as key players Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams will miss their upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns. Crosby, an elite pass rusher, is sidelined due to a high ankle sprain, marking the first game he will miss in his six-year career. Adams, a top receiver, is out with a hamstring injury, putting pressure on teammates to step up.

Coach Antonio Pierce emphasized the need for players to perform at their best without trying to replicate the absent stars. The Raiders' injury woes come as the Browns also deal with their own missing players, setting the stage for a competitive matchup.
