Patriots vs. Raiders Week 5 inactives: Who's in, who's out?

For Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, the New England Patriots will be facing a significant challenge as they enter the game without their starting cornerbacks Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III. In addition to the missing cornerbacks, the Patriots will also be without their fullback Reggie Gilliam and wide receiver Mack Hollins.

These absences will place considerable responsibility on defensive coordinator Zak Kuhr to devise strategies to counteract the Raiders' potent offense, which has exceeded expectations in the first four games of the season. On the brighter side, running back Rhamondre Stevenson and defensive tackle Christian Barmore are set to be active for the game, potentially bolstering the Patriots' defense.

However, the extent to which these players can compensate for the missing starters remains uncertain. As for the Raiders, second-year running back Ashton Jeanty is included in the active roster despite a lingering ankle/foot injury. The complete list of inactives for both teams has been announced ahead of the Week 5 game.
