Las Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak said rookie right guard Trey Zuhn has cleared the concussion protocol and he will start Sunday. Zuhn had to leave the Week 9 loss at San Francisco. He practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and Thursday. However, he was a full go Friday.
The third-round pick will be making his third straight start.
Kubiak said defensive tackle Thomas Booker and wide receiver Dont’e Thornton are both questionable. There are both reserve players.
The Raiders have had a major injury advantage in virtually every game this season and that will continue Sunday. The Seahawks will be without starting quarterback Sam Darnold as backup Drew Lock will play and star guard Quenton Nelson is out too. Others are in question.
Kubiak also sad the Raiders are considering adding a third quarterback to the roster behind Mendoza and Aidan O’Connell..
