Full Injury Report: Barnes, Spencer for the Raiders, Harrison, Polamalu for the Steelers all Out
Mike Goodson was a late addition to the Oakland Raiders’ injury report, after participating in practice the rest of the week. Goodson apparently “tweaked” his hamstring a little during Thursday’s practice but they are hoping he’ll be good to go on Sunday. Also, both of the Raiders’ concussed players (Coye Francies, Rolando McClain) were limited in practice throughout the week, and will be game time decisions depending on whether or not they pass the required concussion tests mandated by the league.

The Pittsburgh Steelers injury report looks more like a pro bowl roster than what it is. Star defenders James Harrison and Troy Polamalu have both been ruled out for Sunday’s game, as has Rashard Mendenhall on the offensive side of the ball. On any given Sunday, this might pose a serious challenge to the team, but maybe not so much vs. the Raiders this week. If Carson Palmer gets no help from his running game, Polamalu’s absence will mean nothing.
