Jakobi Meyers Trending Toward Week 8 Return
5 days agoPer head coach Antonio Pierce, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is expected to suit up for the team’s Week 8 matchup. Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported the news. Meyers returned to practice on Wednesday after logging three DNPs the week prior but was listed as a non-participant on the Raiders’ Thursday report. However, it was evidently just a day of rest for the 27-year-old. Las Vegas will undoubtedly benefit from his presence after he missed the last two contests with his ankle ailment. The former New England Patriot will slide back into his WR1 role for the team, pushing fellow wideouts DJ Turner and Tre Tucker back down the ranks. Meyers will return for a tough outing Sunday against the Raiders’ division-rival Kansas City Chiefs.
