Malcolm Koonce Ruled Out with Knee Injury

The Raiders have ruled Edge Malcolm Koonce out for Sunday's opener against the Chargers because of a knee injury he suffered in Thursday's practice. HC Antonio Pierce refused to give any more details about the injury while talking to the media Friday. We'll see whether this issue will sideline Koonce beyond Week 1. His absence obviously helps the Chargers offfense, though not enough to alter our Week 1 rankings. It should also mean a start for either Janarius Robinson or 2023 first-round pick Tyree Wilson. If Wilson doesn't play meaningful snaps in this game, it'll be a pretty bad sign for his 2024 outlook (and beyond).
