The Las Vegas Raiders have been without several key players recently. Wide receiver Davante Adams is at the center of trade rumors following his trade request, while edge rusher Maxx Crosby is coping with an ankle injury. Adding to their challenges, we found out on Tuesday that defensive tackle Christian Wilkins will be sidelined for an extended period due to a foot injury.
One confusing storyline involves second-year tight end Michael Mayer. With the acquisition of Brock Bowers, Mayer’s role has diminished this season. However, he has been absent from the team for about two weeks due to a personal issue. There hasn’t been much information regarding Mayer’s situation, which may be for the best; if it’s serious, it should remain private until he is ready to address it.
On Tuesday, Your Boy Q from the “Locked On Raiders Podcast” provided an update, indicating that Mayer’s family has been in contact with the Raiders. He noted that Mayer is dealing with a situation he has faced before, clarifying that it is unrelated to any desire for a trade or frustration with playing time. While this update lacks detailed clarity, it reassures us that Mayer’s absence isn’t due to wanting to leave Las Vegas. Ultimately, we all hope Mayer is okay and that he takes the necessary time before rejoining the team.
